288333 - /duplicates.cgi should redirect to /duplicates.html or the other way around

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect, P1)

Description

[Anne (:annevk)]

Currently:
 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/duplicates.cgi>
 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/duplicates.html>

... are the same. One should redirect to the other and one of those should be
removed. Probably the one that isn't in CVS.

This doesn't necessarily need to be done as part of the upgrade, but setting the
dependency as a reminder because if I haven't got to it by the time we do the
upgrade, that'll be the perfect time to do it.

Anyone happen to know why we have this?  We appear to be running a cron job that grabs the output of duplicates.cgi with no parameters and dumps it into duplicates.html daily.  We don't appear to link to the html version from anywhere...

I believe we had it because people were concerned about the performance impact of duplicates.cgi when the historical info was not stored in the database. If that's no longer a concern, it can just go away.

This redirect is in place (and the cron generating the HTML page is gone) as of the 3.4 upgrade.
