779423 - Links on https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/ page broken due to additional / in the URL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Wiki pages, defect)

Description

[L. Guruprasad]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0
Build ID: 20120724191344

Steps to reproduce:

I visited https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/. There are a lot of links to resources on HTML, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and etc. at the top of the page. I clicked on the links of each of the resources


Actual results:

The links lead to a 404 error due to an additional / in the URL. For example,
https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs//en/HTML/HTML5 got redirected to https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs_en/HTML/HTML5 which resulted in a 404


Expected results:

The URLs should not have a an additional /. For example the correct URL will be https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/en/HTML/HTML5 instead of https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs//en/HTML/HTML5 which is the format of the links in that page.

Looks like this is a result of the fix in bug 779292

The redirect is because of that bug but the faulty // is the real issue. Fixed in https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/pull/476
