672464 - [404] link to http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/apidocs/

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Kenneth]

Rhino apidocs seems to have disappeared from the server.

The dev page links to it:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Rhino_documentation

There are numerous hits on google suggesting that it used to be there (and the cache version shows it):

These pages were available until recently.  They had to be taken down temporarily because of a security problem (bug 655849).  These can be brought back when the security issue is fixed.  CC'ing the Rhino module owner on this bug for input.

We receive a few webmaster emails a week regarding these pages.  I have posted to the newsgroup and tried emailing the doc owner and have not received any response.

Should these pages be removed if nothing is being done?

At the very least, we could remove the link to the 404ing API docs, if you like. Let us know.

I feel it would eliminate a lot of frustration in getting the 404, if only valid links are there.  I'm sure a lot more users visit it than we hear from.

Now that bug 655849 is fixed, is there anything preventing the pages from being brought back?

David, has the module owner contacted you?

Terry, thanks for pinging about this.  The Rhino module ownership changed recently so I'm copying Hannes for his input.
