User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

Please set up feed.spreadfirefox.com and point it to hornytoad. I'll handle
apache conf. In order to coincide with the security impending release of
Firefox, this pretty much needs to happen today if at all possible. Sorry about
the late notice -- I just learned about the need for it today.

Reproducible: Always

Sorry, typoed on name. We'd prefer plural feeds rather than singular feed if
possible.

Done.

These addresses should not redirect; instead they should use mod_rewrite.

Waitasec....

Is there a LiveBookmark being included in Firefox 1.0.3 that has this link in it?

If so I do *not* want this on hornytoad.  It'll implode.  Let me know what you
want configured on it and I'll throw it on the production webserver round-robin.

No, there's not a livebookmark for Firefox 1.0.3 for this as far as I know.
We're just doing a post about the feed tomorrow, and though I don't think
there'll be enough traffic out of the gate to cause major problems, I wanted to
be able to make a switch later if need be without having to ask people to change
their links. Hence the alias. If you still feel kind of iffy about it, we just
need to move /var/www/html/spreadfirefox.com/community/download_counter.php to
wherever you want this and to have the following (or similar) rewrite rules in
place:

    RewriteRule ^/downloads/thunderbird$
http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/download_counter.php?tb=1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/downloads/firefox$
http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/download_counter.php?ff=1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/downloads/combined$
http://feeds.spreadfirefox.com/download_counter.php [L]

OK, it's fine where it is then if it's just something you're posting a link to.

You just scared me with mention of it having to be there before the release goes
out. :)
