All links returns 404
Comment 1 Mark Millard 2021-06-12 01:37:15 UTC
The "All links returns 404" claim is false, in that the examples I
try work fine. For example:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2021-May/121025.html

works just fine for finding one of my messages that is in the old pipermail based history.

And:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2021-June/000082.html

works just fine for one of my messages in the new archives based history.


You probably need to explicitly list example URLs that you are having troubles
with and possibly give some idea of the time frames in which the URLs were
originally generated and the time frames to which they are supposed to refer.

All non-blurred links lead to pages that are 404, not found.

All the non-blurred links work fine here. Sounds like a more local problem,
not a universal one. (I'm in the Pacific NW USA.)

Hmm. Interesting:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports

leads to a page that fails when its links are used but:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/index.html

leads to a page that has links that work.

The failing page has links like (no reference to
freebsd-ports):

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/2021-June/index.html
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/2021-June/subject.html

but the working page has the matching links that have
the references:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2021-June/index.html
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2021-June/subject.html

Previously I had started from something that got
to the . . ./freebsd-ports/index.html page.

(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #5)

Turns out that:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/

leads to a page that works as well.

And, the same distinctions exist for freebsd-arm:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm

leads to a page that fails. But:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/
and:
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/index.html

lead to pages that work.

The issue does not seem to be freebsd-ports specific.

I meant that first example to be:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/

Sorry.
Comment 8 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-12 18:10:24 UTC
Summary, it's still broken as reported from the start
Comment 9 Mark Millard 2021-06-12 23:29:17 UTC
(In reply to Daniel Engberg from comment #8)

No: "All links returns 404" was incorrect. I listed
some links that work. It also had too little context
for others to reliably reproduce the problem.

That has since been taken care of. Your later notes
proved sufficient. Thanks for adding them.
