Description billinghurst 2013-06-07 12:36:24 UTC 
http:// link that point to git, get a 404. Would it be worthwhile writing a rewrite in the apache config files that move the urls to https:// ?

Unthinkingly, and through habit, I made the mistake of making the link protocol neutral. I can see that it would be useful to help workaround for others making that mistake.
Comment 1 Chad H. 2013-06-07 13:09:08 UTC 
Huh? Example?

http://git.wikimedia.org/ redirects to https://git.wikimedia.org/ for me.
Comment 2 billinghurst 2013-06-07 23:43:39 UTC 
It was a deeper link
[//git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FProofreadPage/e7233e3ba511bd859f16d36e84accb3342d858d9/ProofreadPage.body.php git]

so http://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FProofreadPage/e7233e3ba511bd859f16d36e84accb3342d858d9/ProofreadPage.body.php

Worksforme...
Comment 4 billinghurst 2013-06-08 00:04:23 UTC 
Well, I get

<paste>

Not Found

The requested URL /blob/mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage/e7233e3ba511bd859f16d36e84accb3342d858d9/ProofreadPage.body.php was not found on this server.

</paste>

It was pointed out to me

<quote> (ps your link is 404 error) </quote>

 at https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Requests_for_comment/Annotations_and_derivative_works&oldid=4467510

so it is not only me that has the issue.
Comment 5 Chad H. 2013-06-08 00:05:35 UTC 
Hmm, those /'s in the repo name (or file path) should be encoded as %2F :\

Comment 9 Seb35 2013-09-04 11:25:28 UTC 
Is there still the problem with 404 errors?

I just tried the link on Wikisource (HTTP and HTTPS versions) with IE8/WinXP, Firefox 3.0.3/WinXP, Opera 10/WinXP, Opera 12.16/Ubuntu Lucid, Firefox 20/Ubuntu Lucid and I never experienced a 404 error (neither another error). What browsers did you have?

The Apache config of git.wikimedia.org didn’t really change since the beginning (see operations/puppet/templates/apache/sites/git.wikimedia.org).

I thought also about an encoding bug in MediaWiki; I tried with the MediaWiki version which was on Wikisource then (1.22/wmf5) but the HTML really gives slashes encoded as %2F and didn’t experienced the error (with Opera 12.16/Ubuntu Lucid).

I stop here the investigation about 404 error, unless there is still the problem. (the 404 error is a different bug than the bug title "rewrite http -> https".)
