453816 - Update Hendrix access points to use CAPTCHA or link to main page; then fix Hendrix to require CAPTCHA

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Webtools Graveyard :: Hendrix, defect)

Description

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Following on from bug 453652, we need to update the various web pages that send data through Hendrix to either use the new CAPTCHA system, or to just link to the main page (preferred). Then, we need to update Hendrix to make the CAPTCHA solving non-optional.

The access points I can find from trawling the newsgroups and grepping the website are:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/add-ons/ebay/feedback/
http://en-gb.www.mozilla.com/en-GB/add-ons/ebay/feedback/
http://fr.www.mozilla.com/fr/add-ons/ebay/feedback/
(and presumably lots more localized versions)

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.1a1/firstrun/
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.1a2/firstrun/
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/shiretoko/
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/
http://hendrix.mozilla.org/
http://feedback.mozilla.org/

There other copies on the form on the page for earlier betas, but we don't actually want feedback on those, so perhaps we just need to remove that section from these pages.

drolnitzky gave the go-ahead to update the eBay pages.

Regarding the firstrun pages, beltzner says:

"I do think that there's value in having the form right there, but agree that we should be also linking to the other options as listed on hendrix.mozilla.org -- why don't we add those other links and keep the direct form instead of linking people over? Let's start with that, and see if it reduces the amount of support requests on Hendrix."

I've removed the feedback sections entirely from the pages for the obsolete builds, replacing them with a generic "please upgrade" message. I've fixed up the remaining mozilla.org instances to use the CAPTCHA, but I don't have checkin access to mozilla.com.

Reed: are you able to fix mozilla.com, or can you assign this bug to someone who can? We can't switch Hendrix to require the CAPTCHAs until all access points are fixed...

Replace the current "What is 5 + 2" table row with the following code:

    <tr>
      <td class="label">
        Humanness Check: 
      </td>
      <td class="widget">
      
<script type="text/javascript"
   src="http://api.recaptcha.net/challenge?k=6LckBgMAAAAAAHlkAGWVrdc3gorusTVlLjixmeFh">
</script>

<noscript>
   <iframe src="http://api.recaptcha.net/noscript?k=6LckBgMAAAAAAHlkAGWVrdc3gorusTVlLjixmeFh"
       height="300" width="500" frameborder="0"></iframe><br>
   <textarea name="recaptcha_challenge_field" rows="3" cols="40">
   </textarea>
   <input type="hidden" name="recaptcha_response_field" 
       value="manual_challenge">
</noscript>

      </td>
    </tr>

So, this worries me. We've made a point to not rely on outside sources for pages on www.mozilla.com. If we can't get by without the JS, can we at least make it deferred?

Hendrix is no longer in use.
