Description Eric Case 2012-05-07 21:09:55 UTC 
Hi folks,

We just noticed the following:

1) in Safari/Mac 5.1.5, set your user-agent to Safari iOS 4.3.3/iPhonr
2) visit www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is
3) it redirects to a broken URL — http://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is
Comment 1 Liangent 2012-05-08 15:27:43 UTC 
Changing subject to reflect the real issue. This bug is not limited to Safari.
Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2012-05-08 15:36:08 UTC 
This is apparently the what happens when you access http://wikipedia.org/wiki/not_a_page as well.  Maybe we could just take the redirect off of www.wikipedia.org and wikipedia.org.

Comment 4 Jon 2012-10-19 19:39:17 UTC 
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ works for me - directs me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Comment 5 Eric Case 2012-10-27 19:33:18 UTC 
I'm still seeing this issue:

1) using Safari/Mac 6.0.1 (8536.26.14), set User Agent to "Safari iOS 5.1 — iPhone"
2) paste `www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is` into the URL bar and try to visit it
3) get redirected to `http://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is` with this error: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is" because Safari can't find the server "www.m.wikipedia.org"
Comment 6 Eric Case 2013-02-17 20:22:18 UTC 
The problem is that your redirect isn't adding a locale by default.

For mobile user agents, www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is

redirects to www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is (which doesn't work)

instead of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is (which does work).

As a workaround we'll hard-code `en.` in our app until this is fixed.

-Eric
Comment 7 Platonides 2013-04-04 21:39:34 UTC 
Simple command to reproduce it:
wget -U "Safari iOS 4.3.3/iPhone" http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is
Comment 8 Arthur Richards 2013-04-04 21:42:45 UTC 
I've been able to reproduce this with an Android device as well as iOS devices.
Comment 9 Glaisher 2014-11-05 17:25:30 UTC 
This is now fixed. https://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is redirects to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is
