bug#35395: GUIX website redirections are failing

2019-05-04 Thread Ludovic Courtès
Hello,

Most redirects are now gone (that is, the web site itself doesn’t refer
to them), so I think we can close this bug.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludo’,

If you're having problems reproducing the issue, it may be because some
security setting I have for my browsing (some setting in emacs-w3m and
some extension in firefox). If it really is necessary, I can try to
trace it, but I have each 'loaded up' quite heavily and it seems that
since Tobias has already identified the cause as an HTML "special"ness,
there's no need.

BTW, for some reason debbugs.gnu.org didn't automatically subscribe me
to this thread, even though I authored it. You seem to have actively
cc'ed me, but I needed to navigate to the bugreport URI to see the input
from Tobias and Quiliro.

Exactly.

Can anyone reproduce the problem, though?  Both emacs-w3m and IceCat
follow redirects just fine for me.

That said, we should at least change the references used on the web site
(home page, help page, etc.) to use the “real” URL with /en.  Any
takers?

Tested now
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Features.html on
newly installed Emacs-w3m. It redirected correctly to
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Features.html . Do
you still have problems? I do not. Maybe there is a diference between
foreign distro and GuixSD.

The links aren't broken, but implemented in a very… special way:

 ~ λ curl 
 https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Features.html

 
 
   
 
 Page has moved! — GNU Guix
 

   
   

   […]

I.e. inject arbitrary code into the user's browser and if it 
catches us, fall back to http-equiv hackery.  Not good!


The fix is to send out real (HTTP 307/302) redirections, but the 
problem might be that gnu.org won't let us.


Kind regards,

This is also the case from the guix 'help' page[4] link to the 
system

manual[5]. Other links[6][7] on that page do work.

On Epiphany on top of GuixSD they all open for me.
