Build Identifier: 

There are multiple .htaccess files which contain redundant redirects.  These redundant redirects within the .htaccess files.  These redirects add confusion when modifying these files.  Below is a list of files containing redundant or bogus redirects which must be cleaned up:

access/.htaccess
access/samples/.htaccess
products/mozilla1.x/download/.htaccess


Reproducible: Always

Franklin, if you can attach a patch for each of those .htaccess files, I can remove the redudnant redirects.

I went through the attachments above and did the following:

/www/mozilla-org/html/access/unix/.htaccess -- I'm not seeing this file.  Maybe i'm just missing it?

/www/mozilla-org/html/access/samples/.htaccess -- Removed the duplicate entries.

/www/mozilla-org/html/products/mozilla1.x/download/.htaccess -- The whole file has been removed as part of ongoing archiving work.

Closing this as fixed.  As mentioned in comment #6, if I overlooked the /access/unix/.htaccess or if there are other redundant redirects feel free to reopen.
