Jmeter links to an incorrect download link and fails to install

[thorrsson]

The formula uses:
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz

Which results in:

brew install jmeter
==> Downloading https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz
Error: Failed to download resource "jmeter"
Download failed: Couldn't determine mirror, try again later.

This is not a valid download link, but any of the mirrors listed on that page are, editing the formula locally to use one of those works fine.

Works fine here:

==> Downloading https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz
==> Best Mirror http://apache.mirrors.spacedump.net/jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-2.13.tgz

Probably a local issue. The dyn path is Apache's geolocation URL - Fairly common across Apache formulae.

Odd, let me try it from where I am now... I'll update shortly

brew install jmeter
