791764 - air.mozilla.org pages should link to .org, not .com

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Websites :: air.mozilla.com, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 - Visit https://air.mozilla.org/the-monday-meeting-13/
 - Inspect "Air Mozilla HD" link

EXPECTED RESULT: Should link to air.mozilla.org
ACTUAL RESULT: Links to air.mozilla.com (<--- not .org)

JUSTIFICATION: The ".org" version seems to be the preferred/correct URL for AirMO content, since
  (a) .com URLs simply redirect to .org
  (b) the "https: versions of air.mozilla.com URLs are busted (see bug 791762)

So, presumably, the ".com" redirect is just for convenience, and we shouldn't actually be relying on it in links anywhere. (especially not https links, which are busted as described in bug 791762)

It'd probably be good to grep the air.mozilla.org source HTML for any other any other pages (besides the one that I've provided) that have ".com"-flavored links, and fix those as well.

(Actually, it appears that the "Air Mozilla HD" link has now been removed from that page.)

So, this is maybe WORKSFORME now since the link has disappeared.  Might still be good to do a sanity-check grep for other ".com" links, but since I don't know of any of those offhand, I'll resolve this as WFM.

Reopening -- it looks like this is a problem with the boilerplate that gets pasted into many meetings, including e.g. today's Monday Meeting.

The meeting URL is here:
  https://air.mozilla.org/the-monday-meeting-12/
and the page includes this text:
  There is an Air Mozilla HD feed for this program.
which links to:
  https://air.mozilla.com/mtv-hd/
                      ^^^ (note the .com, which causes SSL errors
                           since our cert is for air.mozilla.org, not .com)

Still true of e.g. today's Mozilla community meeting AirMozilla page, FWIW. (Clicking the HD feed link gives a cert error page, due to the wrong URL being used.)

CC'ing Richard, since I suspect he's the one who'd fix this.

(note that the link (even with .org) seems to be broken now -- https://air.mozilla.org/mtv-hd/ gives "Not found")

The links to the HD streams (should) get removed when we post the archived recording.  The Vid.ly transcode which is what is linked-to after the event, is done from the local recording which is higher bandwidth than even the HD stream.  

 I'm guessing that my fingers got ahead of my brain when I typed those links.  I'll try to be more careful.

Grep isn't going to be much help cleaning up the history.  The event entries live in a database, so we can probably clean it up, or at least identify the events to look at, with a couple of SQL queries.
