A cached rewrite made with cooldown on stays right until a version it held
back leaves cooldown, so it now expires then instead of after a fixed
time. Handlers ask cooldown through Proxy.cooldown, which reports each
withheld version to the rewrites running at that moment. A rewrite that
held nothing back is kept for the shortest cooldown, at most a day.
A Go module's .mod and .info for a canonical version, and RPM repodata
files named after their checksum, never change once published. They
went through the metadata TTL, so each cost a revalidation every TTL with
cache_metadata on and a full fetch on every request with it off.
They are now kept in the metadata cache with or without cache_metadata
and served whatever their age. A stored copy is checked against its
digest and fetched again if it doesn't match. Go queries, @v/list,
@latest and repomd.xml stay on the TTL.
A failed .info fetch counted as an unknown time, so a rate-limited or
flaky upstream let versions in cooldown through. It now fails the list
or download with 502; only a version upstream doesn't know, or whose
.info has no time, is let through.
Times are stored under the escaped module path, which keeps modules
that differ only in case apart. Modules with uppercase letters were not
stored before and fetched every .info again on each list request. Only
canonical versions are stored, since a query such as a branch name can
resolve to a later commit.
A .mod or .zip whose version doesn't unescape is answered with 404
instead of being passed upstream unchecked.
With cooldown on, @v/list leaves out versions whose .info time is
inside the window, and @latest falls back to the newest release out of
cooldown when upstream's answer is too new. Each listed version's
.info is read once and its time is stored in the versions table, as
npm does, except for modules whose path has uppercase letters, since
golang PURLs are lowercased.
A .info, .mod or .zip for a version in cooldown, and a query such as a
branch name that resolves to one, gets 403. The go command moves on to
the next GOPROXY entry after 404 or 410, so a 404 would let
GOPROXY=proxy,direct fetch the version directly.
Go has no publish time: .info carries the commit time of the revision,
so a version tagged on an old commit counts as old. The docs say so.
