[arch-mirrors] Pacman Mirrorlist Generator Broken

I posted this in the forums but I thought I'd try here too.


The Pacman Mirrorlist Generator at https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ does not seem to be working correctly.

I have a script that uses a wget to fetch just the USA mirrors, but today, it got them all. At first, I thought perhaps something had changed, so I went to the site to generate a list from there so I could compare the URL it generated with the one I was using. I found the URL was the same and so were the results. I tried a couple of different countries with the same results. It seems to always return the full list, not just the country specified.

I looked at a system I updated a few days ago (2018-04-18) and it had worked correctly then, but today (2018-04-21) it does not.

Thanks for the report. This is most likely related to a recent website
update and has already been reported[1], but I believe it's not yet fixed.
