1499584 - `/docs/` not available via HTTPS

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1477034

(Taskcluster :: Services, defect)

Description

[Mike Pennisi [:jugglinmike]]

The URL https://docs.taskcluster.net/docs/ is currently reporting a 404.

    $ curl https://docs.taskcluster.net/docs/ --silent -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n"
    404

Although a URL which omit the trailing slash resolves correctly

    $ curl https://docs.taskcluster.net/docs --silent -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n"
    200

...the site currently features the former version prominently [1], so this is
likely a bug. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this locally:

    $ curl http://localhost:8000/docs/ --silent -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n"
    200

Which first caused me to suspect some inauthenticity in my development
environment. However, insecure requests to the production server resolve as
intended:

    $ curl http://docs.taskcluster.net/docs/ --silent -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n"
    301

So this may be related to the HTTPS configuration.

This is surprisingly hard to fix, because of the obscure way our docs are generated.  We have a project in progress to change that (to build the docs into taskcluster-web) which will address this and 100's of similar issues.
