394591 - Issue with redirect from update.mozilla.org to addons.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

Not totally sure what is going wrong here but reed says update.mozilla.org should redirect to addons.mozilla.org and when just typing the name in it does, however when looking at a broken locale we have it was sending the extension update request:

https://update.mozilla.org/update/VersionCheck.php?reqVersion=1&id={9c51bd27-6ed8-4000-a2bf-36cb95c0c947}&version=9.8.1&maxAppVersion=2.0.0.*&appID={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=2.0.0.7pre&appOS=Darwin&appABI=x86-gcc3

which redirects to www.mozilla.org.

That its using that url is a bug in the locale but maybe there is an issue with the server side redirects as well?

Ah so its the ssl redirect.

http://update.mozilla.org redirects to https://addons.mozilla.org
https://update.mozilla.org redirects to http://www.mozilla.org
