912112 - Prune feed redirects for pa-IN

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #466631 +++

I set up feed redirect for Punjabi (pa-IN) in bug 466631.

Now the site we redirect to isn't supporting Punjabi anymore, and we don't have a good replacement, so let's switch off the special case so that the feed goes back to bbc.

http://fxfeeds.mozilla.com/pa-IN/firefox/headlines.xml is the one to prune.

I'm filing this in just server-ops, as I don't think anyone actually really owns this today. These redirects only need to stay alive for legacy bookmarks, so we haven't had much requests like this lately.

Webops manage these, should be on the static cluster. Over to them.

:Pike - can you please include the exact URL you want ^/pa-IN/firefox/headlines.xml to redirect to?

Comment 3

I'd suspect that removing the pa-IN redirect makes the BBC default kick in.

I think that should target http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml?edition=int or an address redirecting to that.
