Splarka <h...@goldrush.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |h...@goldrush.com --- Comment #26 from Splarka <h...@goldrush.com> 2008-12-27 02:54:48 UTC --- Observations: It is very annoying to have must-revalidate along with 404, as the browser cannot cache the page even with forward/backward navigation. This isn't terribly critical, but form elements are also reinitilized in most browsers in such a case. If the MediaWiki:Noarticletext has custom forms they get erased (and even the search box). This should probably become a separate bug entry (suppress must-revalidate on 404s?). The fringe cases of ISP-hijacked, browser-overridden, seems /mostly/ harmless, since content without a page (populated missing categories, shared media without local descriptions) which can be accessed via easy means (such as via Search [GO]) are not given 404. However, one case where they are, but still GOable, is any page starting with the User: prefix (whether the user exists or not, whether the page is a base page or user subpage). Example: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=User%3AIamgoingto404ville/foo&go=Go 302s to a 404 which should never happen. This should probably become a separate bug entry (never 302 to a 404?). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
