790944 - firefox.com/m redirects to 404 on non-English browsers

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(www.mozilla.org :: Legacy PHP system, defect, P4)

Description

[Bartosz Piec]

On the Firefox stickers we got on MozCamp there was the following address: firefox.com/m

On en-US browser it redirects correctly to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/ but on pl (and maybe other locales) it redirects to http://www.mozilla.org/pl/m which does not exist.

I don't know what the correct redirection should be because on http://www.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/fx/ there isn't much about Firefox for Android. The best website I've found is probably http://www.mozilla.org/pl/mobile/

[jakemaul@jakebook ~]$ curl -v http://firefox.com/m
< Location: http://www.firefox.com/m

[jakemaul@jakebook ~]$ curl -v http://www.mozilla.org/m
< Location: http://www.mozilla.org/m

[jakemaul@jakebook ~]$ curl -v http://www.mozilla.org/m
< Location: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/m


This may or may not be related to the fact that a number of redirects in the Apache config for Bedrock are hard-coded to en-US. Many of these were done before there was localized content for those pages in Bedrock.

Rik: do you have any good ideas on where we can start on this particular bug?

www.mozilla.org.conf:    RewriteRule ^/en-US/mobile(/?)$ /b/en-US/mobile$1 [PT]

So we rewrite to the Django app, but *only* for en-US... and that's for /mobile, not /m.

Looks like we have 2 issues here... /m doesn't go to the /mobile page, and the /mobile page only goes to the Django app in en-US.


I'm punting this to the "www.mozilla.org" product for advice.

[Anthony Ricaud (:rik)]

The problem to solve here is http://www.mozilla.org/m should not redirect to http://www.mozilla.org/{locale}/m. This is certainly a mix of PHP and htaccess, yeah.

Guess I shall take this.

Also gonna had a test in mcom-tests when it's done.

[Bartosz Piec]

Any progress on this? Is the address firefox.com/m still used somewhere?

Comment 5

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

AFAIK, firefox.com/m is not used anywhere.

This is still relevant.

Comment 8

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

I cannot reproduce the issue now. 

If the locale is pl, I'm redirected from firefox.com/m to
https://www.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/new/?utm_source=firefox-com&utm_medium=referral

I don't know if the redirect address is correct but currently it redirects to Polish Fx site, not to 404.
