1217420 - please provide stable url to latest firefox release on ftp.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation: Other, defect)

Description

[gfa]

Attachment: update-firefox

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150929144111

Steps to reproduce:

I use this command to detect new mozilla versions and download them.

curl --silent --use-ascii --ftp-method nocwd --list-only http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-i686/en-US/ | grep tar | awk -F href '{print $2}' | cut -c11-16

that was broken not long ago when ftp.mozilla.org stop being accessible over ftp, now it is broken again.


I'm sorry if the bug is not assigned to the correct team, this is the closest i can found on bugzilla. I'm attaching my script to detect/download firefox, i use a similar script for thunderbird


Actual results:

a 302 redirect was returned, I no longer can detect which is the latest firefox and thunderbird, version, and apply updates.


Expected results:

return 40.0.2
