GMP website: old release (3.1.1) cannot be downloaded

[Peter Jin]

Hi Torbjörn,

Thanks for your reply. The download URL to 3.1.1 seems to consistently yield a 403 Forbidden response. Misspelled GMP downloads instead yield a 404 response. Some more evidence:

1. https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/archive/gmp-3.1.1.tar.bz2 -> 403 Forbidden
2. https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/archive/gmp-3.x.x.tar.bz2 <https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/archive/gmp-3.1.1.tar.bz2> (note the misspelling) -> 404
3. https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/archive/gmp-3.1.tar.bz2 <https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/archive/gmp-3.1.1.tar.bz2> -> successful download

I'm using Firefox to browse the directory structure (https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/archive/). It appears only the download URLs for 3.1.1 are broken.

Thank you,
-Peter
