1197447 - WebOps: Redirect some static assets

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Code Cleanup, defect)

Description

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

We currently host images, CSS, and JavaScript at /media. When we move to staticfiles, they will be hosted at /static instead.

We'll need to coordinate with WebOps to set up permanent redirects (for the benefit of any hotlinkers) from the old to the new paths. We probably will not be able to do this ourselves in .htaccess (see bug 1145793 for rationale).

I'll update this bug with the specific redirect directives when we get closer to launch.

Production also currently has some redirects from /media/redesign to /media (see bug 1145793). We should update those redirects to point straight to /static as part of this.

I'll change the product to "WebOps" once we're ready to launch this.

Comment 3

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

We should only do this after bug 1197444 is merged *and* lands on production.

Comment 4

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

We're moving different asset types to /static one-by-one, so we'll also need to redirect different asset types one-by-one. I'll split this into several smaller bugs to be completed over time.
