1003567 - addon update release notes 403 forbidden

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Cloud Services :: Operations: Marketplace, task, P1)

Description

[kevink9876543]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 SeaMonkey/2.26 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140415212235

Steps to reproduce:

1) From a browser with at least one outdated add-on (I tested Firefox 17 ESR and current SeaMonkey beta & nightly), go
Tools -> Add-ons Manager -> Check for updates
then
View available updates.
2) For any addon update, try to show the release notes.


Actual results:

"Sorry, but there was an error loading the release notes" was displayed.  Sniffing the traffic with HTTPFox shows that the request is getting rejected with a 403 Forbidden error.


Expected results:

The release notes for that addon update should have loaded.

To save some potential typing, here's an example release notes URL that's 403ing:

https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/versions/updateInfo/1548210/en-US/

It seems that the requested URL might just be the wrong one:
Removing "versioncheck." from https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/versions/updateInfo/1548210/
gives you: https://addons.mozilla.org/versions/updateInfo/1548210/
which redirects to:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/versions/1.1.9beta19/updateinfo/
which are the expected release notes.

No, as versioncheck.amo has been and is being used for this: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/app/profile/firefox.js#231

There's just some error or misconfiguration on the server which happened about three weeks ago.

I believe Jason/Jeremy were adjusting these servers a few weeks ago so putting this in their queue.  Let me know if that's not the case.

This should now be fixed. 

SITE_URL was not set correctly when we switched over to olympia codebase.

Yes, "Show release notes" is working for me now.

Thanks.
