Developers > Cross-reference link on http://netbsd.org broken
Hi!
(I don't know if netbsd-docs@ is the right list for reporting a
problem with the website, so please correct me if I should report this
elsewhere.)
I noticed that when I access the NetBSD website via HTTP
http://netbsd.org
then the Developers > Cross-reference link does not work (i.e.,
connection refused):
http://nxr.netbsd.org/
However, if I access the NetBSD website via HTTPS
https://netbsd.org
then the Developers > Cross-reference link does work:
https://nxr.netbsd.org/
So, it seems that the link uses the scheme of the page it's on, but the
nxr.netbsd.org service is only available on HTTPS, not HTTP. Note that
this can be a little tricky to observe because in a modern web browser
the history or auto-complete feature will automatically try HTTPS if it
has ever succeeded at HTTPS for a host (I'm guessing; I don't know the
actual heuristic each browser uses), so you'd likely have to start with
a clean browser session that has never connected to nxr.netbsd.org via
HTTPS in order to see this problem.
Thanks,
Lewis
