795291 - Localized plugincheck in http doesn't detect plugins

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task, P1)

Description

[Scoobidiver (away)]

The localized versions of plugin check don't detect plugins:
http://www.mozilla.org/de/plugincheck/
http://www.mozilla.org/fr/plugincheck/
http://www.mozilla.org/es/plugincheck/
http://www.mozilla.org/it/plugincheck/

There is no problem in https.

ups confirmed, Laura, Schalk can you take a look at this. Maybe we just need a redirect from http to https for locales

Hey Carsten,

Well, accessing the de one for example via https definitely resolves the problem as far as I can tell.

Comment 3

[Carsten Book [:Tomcat]]

changed to web ops because of comment #2 if setting up the redirect to https is the best way to fix

Relevant: bug 796109. We're considering moving the entire site to force SSL. That naturally solves this problem, so if anyone has any insight as to the problem mentioned there, please comment in that bug so we can get it moving. :)

we've put the following redirect in place to ensure https is used for all plugincheck URLs:

  RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on
  RewriteRule ^/.*/plugincheck/ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
