677478 - Search is broken when preferred language is not English

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Localization, defect)

Description

[Stefan Plewako [:stef]]

If I have some language codes (other than en-US, en) listed at first place in intl.accept_languages (like: pl, en-us, en) then the search is broken.

When I try to search I get a bunch of redirects and and the whole trip ends on the main page (for the first locale in accept languages).

Steps:
1. Set the intl.accept_languages pref to "pl, en-us, en"
2. Enter developer.mozilla.org in the address bar and press enter.

GET /pl/ HTTP/1.1

  Location: https://developer.mozilla.org/pl

GET /pl HTTP/1.1
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

(https://developer.mozilla.org/pl loaded, yay!)

3. Enter foobar in search textarea and press enter…

GET /search?q=foobar HTTP/1.1
  HTTP/1.1 301 MOVED PERMANENTLY
  Location: https://developer.mozilla.org/pl/search?q=foobar

GET /pl/search?q=foobar HTTP/1.1

GET /pl/ HTTP/1.1

  Location: https://developer.mozilla.org/pl

GET /pl HTTP/1.1
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK

(https://developer.mozilla.org/pl was loaded once again…)
4. See 3.

BTW: it was 9 request trip… (should be 2-3)

Does this still happen?

No, it does not - I did not check redirects but in general search works for me now.
