#921 redirect builder-live.log.gz --> builder-live.log when log.gz not found

Closed: Fixed 3 years ago by praiskup. Opened 4 years ago by praiskup.

I'm not sure we really want this, so I'm rather filling this issue. If the following lighttpd config was applied, we would have to link from frontend directly to builder-live.log.gz.

server.modules = (
..
  "mod_rewrite",
..
)

url.rewrite-if-not-file = ( "^/(.*)/builder-live.log.gz$" => "/$1/redirect-live.log" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "redirect-live.log$" {
   url.redirect = ( "^(.*)/redirect-live.log" => "$1/builder-live.log" )
}

Some ideas are in #932.

Since it is much easier to redirect if file is not found with lighttpd, and with apache it is easy as well:

    <Files builder-live.log>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}.gz [R]
    </files>

I think that we should rather remove builder-live.log entirely eventually. Since we now have the UI fixed so it automatically points either to builder-live.log or bulider-live.log.gz - there's no problem with that.
