The attachment contains an error while browsing the URL https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi     from Firefox browser.

I have been trying this morning from 6 am NPT to download tomcat 9 from the URL: https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi but it is showing the following error.

/var/www/dyn/closer.lua:322: attempt to index local 'cdn_uri_check' (a nil value) 

I thought that this could be a problem on my browser only and after that, I've checked this on Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge but still getting the same error. 

Furthermore, I've also checked this on Windows and ubuntu but the error exists.

I have attached the error screenshot on the attachment, please have a look.

Best Regards,
Sandip Dhakal

Thanks for the report. It looks like some recent changes overnight to the mirror script broke at least Tomcat downloads for at least some users.

That script isn't under the control of the Tomcat project but we are in touch with the team that manages it to get it fixed.

Until the the script is fixed, you should be able to obtain Tomcat 9 from:
https://dlcdn.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-9/
