Hey Mike -- can you help route this? We'd like to confirm the URL to use in the video, ASAP.

Laura, we can use that URL no problem, so that shouldn't block adding it to the video while I get this assigned.

Excellent -- then I'll let Rainer know he has the green light to add it in the video. Thanks for checking, and please close once the redirect has been created and QAed.

Do we care anything about stats for this URL?

CCing Chris Chris: I believe we made a decision earlier this year to use mzl.la for all vanity URLs. Can you confirm?

(In reply to Paul McLanahan [:pmac] from comment #7) > Do we care anything about stats for this URL? If you do this in the bedrock redirect app, can you make sure it that also redirects and passes long any query strings? i.e. mozilla.org/foo?bar=1 > foo.mozilla.org/bar=1.

I don't believe our redirect helper function does that currently. It could be made to do so. I don't think it matters for this particular redirect as it's intended for people to manually type the url. Perhaps we should capture this in a new bug?

Rik: If we use pmac/craigcook's bedrock redirect app, I'm fine with doing it in bedrock if mzl.la is not suitable. I would just like to stay away from .htaccess. Pmac: Please proceed up with the bedrock redirect app with the URL and redirect proposed in comment 1.

Craig: Can you add this to the redirect app in bedrock and push that out before you leave for the holiday? Pmac is out till next week and the video is being published next week.

Craig's pull request: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/490 Rik: Please, review, merge, and push to production on Thursday as we have a video going out on Monday that has the URL in comment 1.

Is this live on www.mozilla.org? It doesn't seem to work. https://www.mozilla.org/facebookmessenger redirects to /en-US/facebookmessenger and that 404 errors out.

So because it is painful to do that in Bedrock right now (code in Python then ask for a /b/ redirect to IT), I switched and did it in .htaccess. Done in r111056 on trunk, r111057 on stage and r111058 on production.
