It's http://php.net - not a mirror. Ran a tcpdump, I'm talking to 72.52.91.14

I tried it again using Mozilla (normally chrome), to rule out local
caching issues; I'm not using any proxy. I'm seeing the same issues.

The "my PHP.net" page in chrome says preferred language "Not Set",
last seen language "en", browser Accept-Language
"de-DE,de;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4", mirror default and default
"en".

Mozilla shows the same, except browser Accept-Language is just "en-US,en;q=0.5"

"wget http://php.net" gives me this line:
         <li><a
href="http://php.net/functions.arguments.php#functions.variable-arg-list">Variadic
functions</a> and argument unpacking using the <code>...</code>
operator.</li>

wgetting that href gives me

And in the saved file it reads "<base

Hope this helps
