Description

Tracking bug reports that we have from our custom HTTP messages.

Comment 1

[Daniel Wang]

Owen, isn't this dupe of bug 187809 ?
welcome back, btw

Comment 2

[Anne (:annevk)]

This one just blocks that bug. This bug is specific for our HTTP error code
pages which let people easily file a bug. (That bug automatically blocks this one.)

Comment 3

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

All dependencies have been resolved. Marking FIXED.

Comment 4

[Anne (:annevk)]

This is a tracking bug, reopening.

Comment 5

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Well, all the tracked bugs have been resolved. So why should this bug stay open?
Tracking bugs are bad and serve no real purpose. We have moved away from it in
bmo over the last two years.

Comment 6

[Anne (:annevk)]

Because each time a new broken link or server error occurs somewhere on
mozilla.org people will be requested to fill in a bug that blocks this one. See
comment 0 and comment 2.

Comment 7

[Wolf [:wolf]]

You don't need a tracking bug for those bugs. You just need a query particularly
if they all include [404], etc in the summary. Having a bug that will never be
resolved is a bad thing. Tracking bugs traditionally only track X number of bugs
and close when they're all resolved as this one is. I agree with sipaq here,
this should be marked as fixed.

Comment 8

[Anne (:annevk)]

In that case it should never be opened and it should be removed as blocker from
the HTTP pages. Is someone taking care of that?

Comment 9

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Feh. OK, I'm on it.

Comment 10

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

OK, this bug doesn't exist in any of the templates anymore :-)
