1299160 - [prod] Several of the aliases for XP are redirecting to new products

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Webtools :: Bouncer, defect)

Description

[Matt Brandt [:mbrandt]]

With bug 1233779 we introduced several rule sets for WinXP users. There is some new behavior on prod with regard to how the redirects are behaving. Is this new behavior expected or a regression.

Product alias '42.0' used to redirect to '43.0.1.exe' but now redirects to /pub/firefox/releases/42.0/win32/en-US'

Product alias 'beta' used to redirect to '43.0.1.exe' but nowredirects to '/pub/firefox/releases/44.0b1/win32/en-US'

AFAIK, this is expected behavior (for now), see https://github.com/mozilla-services/go-bouncer/blob/f79046714016dd3490968a7355cce2bde6542e72/handlers_test.go#L101

The currently deployed version of bouncer serves whatever version you request if its version less than the watershed version (in this case 43.0.1)

I don't think this is true. 43.0.1 is release, 44.0b1 is beta.

The same with first case.

The same with second case.

Bumping to verified invalid. Once we do a prod push the tests will reflect the latest changeset.
