588492 - Make URLs less weird for /sites

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Input Graveyard :: Sites, defect)

Description

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

michaelk: wenzel: ouch with the http:// (how helpful of mod_wsgi)— my suggestion would have been to use a get-parameter if wsgi interprets the path, but this is probably nicer
[1:58pm] davedash: michaelk: that makes sens to me...
[1:59pm] davedash: pretty urls are useful if they make sense... http/something.com seems weird
[2:02pm] michaelk: davedash: yeah, not sure that it's a big deal, but it does seem a be a bit artificial
[2:16pm] wenzel: another option would be youtube.com/ssl if it is ssl
[2:16pm] wenzel: patches welcome.
[2:17pm] davedash: stephend assign me a bug, I'll have my way with it...
[2:17pm] stephend: a bug for?
[2:17pm] davedash: "make urls less weird" for /sites

Judging by the bug report, this conversation was before 1.7's release where the UI was kinda primitive. I don't think this is relevant anymore with the new design. Feel free to open, if the bug was misread.

Misread.  The urls are still fugly.  It's not an html issue, it's a URL issue.

James,

Thinking URLs can be parameters, not part of a 'restful' URL... far to meta.

Bonus points if you redirect old urls.

Clearing out 4.2

I haven't got a clue what this bug is about, but it's likely about something we didn't implement in the new Input. Closing this out as WONTFIX.
