I was hoping to download Apache Axis from this location http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/ws/axis/1_4
but it turns out that all the mirrors listed there show me
Not Found
The requested URL /mirror/ws/axis/1_4 was not found on this server.
Is the library no longer available for download?
Visit the backup site mirror. i.e http://www.us.apache.org/dist/ws/
and click on the "older releases" link i.e. http://archive.apache.org/dist/ws and browse to the axis/1.4 folder.
