529473 - unnecessary locale detection adds extra locale code in urls on getpersonas

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: getpersonas.com, defect, P1)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

1/ use a browser in locale ab-CD, fr for example
2/ visit getpersonas in another locale like http://www.getpersonas.com/de/

expected result: see the German version
actual result: you are redirected to http://www.getpersonas.com/fr/de/ which is 404

(Tested with Firefox 3.6b3)

Wow, really odd considering the only locale supported on getpersonas.com is en-US.

Comment 2

Pascal must be using the French version of Fx.
In the en-US version of Firefox if you go to http://www.getpersonas.com/de/
you are redirected to http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/de/

note that this is impacting all 3.6 firstrun/whatsnew pages, would be nice to get that bug fixed soon because I get pinged about that by localizers every day.

r57114 should fix this. 

Current expected behavior for all non en-US locales attempting to view a url like:
sm-personas01.mozilla.org/xx/ will be redirected to sm-personas01.mozilla.org/en-US/xx/
