Good question. OOo 3.3 sends a request with a URL like this: https://registration2.services.openoffice.org/RegistrationWeb/register/urn:st:e7251802-3c52-4e08-a74f-a22eca7458ff?product=OpenOffice.org&locale=en&cid=926117 So it does have a "locale" parameter. My guess is the legacy registration server used that info to provide a localized registration form. Currently we don't have an equivalent page in other languages. We could clean up that page and get it translated into the various languages. But I don't know enough about Apache server rewrites to know if it is possible to redirect based on a URL parameter. Maybe one of our gurus can tell us it is possible to redirect: https://registration2.services.openoffice.org/RegistrationWeb/register/urn:st:e7251802-3c52-4e08-a74f-a22eca7458ff?product=OpenOffice.org&locale=en&cid=926117 to http://registration2.services.openoffice.org/confirm_en.html or even: http://en.openoffice.org/confirm.html In other words, can we pick out a URL parameter and use that elsewhere in the rewrite? -Rob > Regards > Risto > > Rob Weir [robw...@apache.org] kirjoitti: >> >> On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 3:19 PM, Dave Fisher <dave2w...@comcast.net> >> wrote: >> > Since we can't control existing distributions: >> > >> > To dos would be. >> > >> > (1) Create a page that explains things either in the podling site, >> > either wiki, or ooo-site. >> > >> >> I wonder whether this page would be appropriate: >> >> http://www.openoffice.org/download/contribute.html >> >> That is the one that we currently point users to as they download OOo >> 3.3.
