481675 - Give bugzilla.mozilla.org its own copy of resources currently loaded from www.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

www.mozilla.org is being hammered atm afaict, and it meant that my first attempt to load a bug from bugzilla.mozilla.org stalled waiting for what i'm guessing are a css file and an image from www.mozilla.org.

Could bugzilla.mozilla.org self host those files instead of referencing the mozilla.org versions?

I seriously doubt if that was the problem.  Bugzilla itself is much more likely to have connectivity issues than www.mozilla.org is, and in fact, it has sporadically today because of heavy usage.

I was about to entre a duplicate of this bug, following the remarks at comment 23, 24 of bug 555952.

bugzilla.mozilla.org including some content from www.mozilla.org has three potentially bad consequences :
- probably slows down the site as it means an additional external connexion must be opened
- makes the action of the user more spyable externally (the requests to www.mozilla.org gives an indication of what he is currently doing even when made on https, loading a new bug page, etc.)
- means that if there's a disruption on www.mozilla.org it will also affect bugzilla.mozilla.org

The specific case reported in bug 555952 is the loading of https://www.mozilla.org/images/subsite_back.gif. There might be others, including loading the css, as reported above.
