Hi,

at https://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-Export.html, the links
for the first five (5) and the last two (2) subsections
work, the links for:

- "Headlines in HTML export"
  (https://orgmode.org/manual/Headlines-in-HTML-export.html)
- "Links in HTML export"
  (https://orgmode.org/manual/Links-in-HTML-export.html)
- "Tables in HTML export"
  (https://orgmode.org/manual/Tables-in-HTML-export.html)
- "Images in HTML export"
  (https://orgmode.org/manual/Images-in-HTML-export.html)
- "Math formatting in HTML export"
  (https://orgmode.org/manual/Math-formatting-in-HTML-export.html)
- "Text areas in HTML export"
  (https://orgmode.org/manual/Text-areas-in-HTML-export.html)

however all return "301 Moved Permanently", pointing back to
"HTML-Export.html".

The fact that all failing links are named
"Something-in-HTML-export.html" might suggest an issue with
the webserver configuration.

Tim

This looks like the nginx case issue again.

I've looked at this and there does not seem to be any 'clean' way to fix
this which also doesn't have significant processing overhead or a
maintenance burden.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile adding an option to HTML export which
would force all link targets and exported filenames to lower case,
thereby avoiding issues on platforms and with web servers which have
different positions wrt case sensitivity?

Is the nginx configuration/webserver setup documented some-
where?

AFAIK, our nginx configs are not public, but Bastien may privately share
them if you are willing to help.

Willingness implies commitment, and I don't have that (nor
deeper nginx experience). :-) (That's one of the advantages
of free software for me: I can look at a bunch of problems,
pick the one I know the solution for and get instant grati-
fication :-).)

FWIW, I've shared the nginx.config here:
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg/tree/master/item/nginx.conf

Thanks.  Assuming the relevant line is:

|     rewrite HTML-export.html HTML-Export.html permanent;

looking at
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html#rewrite
suggests that this will match any URL that contains the
string "HTML-export.html", i. e. the regular expression is
not anchored anywhere.

So if that regular expression is intended to match on URLs
that end in "/HTML-export.html", an (untested) fix would be
something along the lines of:

|     rewrite /HTML-export\.html$ HTML-Export.html permanent;

However I do not understand the need for these rewrites and
fixing the underlying issue is probably worthwhile.

Tim

Bastien, I have not tried full configuration, but after a quick check I 
believe that it is a reasonable suggestion. It prevents 301 redirection 
from valid URLs like
https://orgmode.org/manual/Links-in-HTML-export.html
to
https://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-Export.html

In addition I would consider

     location /manual/ {
     }

around the rewrite directives to prevent unintentional false positives 
in e.g. worg.

P.S. Workarounds:
M-: (info "(org) Links in HTML Export")
https://orgmode.org/org.html#HTML-Export

Indeed, thanks for the heads up.

Yes -- there is also location /guide/.

Not that if we use "/manual/" with the ending slash in the location
directive, I don't think the "/" is needed at the beginning of, say,
"HTML-Export.html" to disambiguate.

I completely reviewed the nginx configuration again and updated it
on Worg:  https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg/commit/601ebf48

Thanks,

Bastien, unfortunately you have not fix the problem. Slash before 
HTML-export\.html is necessary. The page
https://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-Export.html
has a valid link to
https://orgmode.org/manual/Links-in-HTML-export.html
that is still inaccessible due to the active the rewrite rule

rewrite LaTeX-export\.html LaTeX-Export.html permanent;

curl -I https://orgmode.org/manual/Links-in-HTML-export.html
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.14.2
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2022 06:55:28 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 185
Connection: keep-alive
Location: HTML-Export.html

There should not be such issue for

rewrite /LaTeX-export\.html LaTeX-Export.html permanent;

Unfortunately some redirection targets still respond with 301

301 https://orgmode.org/manual/Dates-and-Times.html
301 https://orgmode.org/manual/Deadlines-and-Scheduling.html
301 https://orgmode.org/manual/Emphasis-and-Monospace.html
301 https://orgmode.org/manual/Export-in-Foreign-Buffers.html
301 https://orgmode.org/manual/HTML-export-commands.html
301 https://orgmode.org/manual/Properties-and-Columns.html

If redirection directives were included as separate files then it would 
be possible to just check them by a command like

     awk '{ if ($NF >= 3) print $3; }' /tmp/manual.txt  |
         xargs --replace -- \
         curl --head --write-out '%{http_code} %{url_effective}\n' \
             --silent --show-error --output /dev/null \
             'https://orgmode.org/manual/{}'

and the same for the guide.

Original proposal to add redirections contained an s-expression with 
mappings. I would consider tracking it in the main Org repository. I 
believe, list of info nodes in the released manual should be added to it 
as known names. The idea is to make it easier to add redirections before 
new release. With such list as an input, a simple script could detect 
nodes absent in new release but existed in the earlier one. Another case 
is names appeared again making redirection rules obsolete.

https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg/tree/master/item/nginx.conf contains the
list of redirections -- the checks could be done from here, right?

I'm not sure I understand.  Nothing should be added to the main Org
repository to fix a problem with the orgmode.org website, even if it
is a problem with the HTML manual as produced from org-mode.git.

I'm not in favor of going into this direction.

So far we provide an easy fix via rewrite rules to the problem created
with the change in the way Texinfo produces URLs.

Such rewrite rules are fine when they are like "rewrite THIS-URL.html
this-url.html" because stumbling on a dead link just because of lower
vs upper case letters is way too frustrating.

But more complex rewrite rules (from old manual nodes to new ones) is
IMHO calling for trouble. What if we split the "Properties and Column"
manual page into "Properties" and "Columns"?  Where to redirect?

It is not hard to copy text from nginx.conf to separate text files. 
Implementing nginx parser to filter only manual or just guide rules is 
more tricky. My opinion, the following structure is even more convenient 
to maintain:

nginx.conf:
# ...
     rewrite ^/list(.*) https://list.orgmode.org$1 permanent;

     location /manual {
         include manual-rewrite.inc;
     }
     location /guide {
         include guide-rewrite.inc;
     }
}
# ...

manual-rewrite.inc:

rewrite /Add_002don-packages\.html Add_002don-Packages.html permanent;
rewrite /Adding-export-back_002dends\.html 
Adding-Export-Back_002dends.html permanent;
rewrite /Adding-hyperlink-Types\.html Adding-Hyperlink-Types.html permanent;
# ...

I suggested it assuming tracking of changes in the manual. If you are 
against it then this list is almost static and regular check is less 
important. However it might catch removing of a section that is a 
redirection target.

I do not insist. The idea was to put a file that is tightly bound to 
contents and edit history of manual close to the source of the docs 
since a script that can detect necessary changes requires list of HTML 
files generated from org-manual.org.

 From my point of view, any variant is better than 404. Alternatively 
redirection target may be an anchor to any of the new items in the table 
of contents.

Thank you for restoring rewrite rules. After earlier Tim's messages I 
was quite pessimistic believing that such attempt of improvement was buried.
