Actually, I think you will find that the mirror sites do have 7.1.2, but
it's not linked from the root of the tree.

That is, you'll see these links:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Jan 29 22:21 v7.0.2 -> source/v7.0.2
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Jan 29 22:21 v7.0.3 -> source/v7.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 Apr  9 08:20 v7.1 -> source/v7.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 May  8 08:45 v7.1.1 -> source/v7.1.1

and there is no v7.1.2 link.

But if you cd into the source directory:

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root          491 Nov 12  2000 v7.0.3
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root          945 May  5 20:12 v7.1
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root          483 May  5 20:29 v7.1.1
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root          483 May 24 16:42 v7.1.2

Probably the ftp site maintainer just forgot to make a link at the root
level.

P.S. the above listings were obtained from ftp://looking-glass.usask.ca/
but I looked at several mirrors and they were all the same.
