The guix homepage[1] links to other pages[2][3] that claim "Redirecting
to the new page location... ", but they don't, at least not for me using
emacs-w3m and firefox-esr v60.
This is also the case from the guix 'help' page[4] link to the system
manual[5]. Other links[6][7] on that page do work.

On Epiphany on top of GuixSD they all open for me.

The links aren't broken, but implemented in a very… special way:
~ λ curl
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Features.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Page has moved! — GNU Guix</title>
<noscript><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=../en/html_node/Features.html"></noscript>
</head>
<body onload="window.location =
'../en/html_node/Features.html';">
[…]
I.e. inject arbitrary code into the user's browser and if it
catches us, fall back to http-equiv hackery. Not good!
The fix is to send out real (HTTP 307/302) redirections, but the
problem might be that gnu.org won't let us.
Kind regards,
T G-R

Tested now
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Features.html on
newly installed Emacs-w3m. It redirected correctly to
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Features.html . Do
you still have problems? I do not. Maybe there is a diference between
foreign distro and GuixSD.

Exactly.
Can anyone reproduce the problem, though? Both emacs-w3m and IceCat
follow redirects just fine for me.
That said, we should at least change the references used on the web site
(home page, help page, etc.) to use the “real” URL with /en. Any
takers?

Hi Ludo’,
If you're having problems reproducing the issue, it may be because some
security setting I have for my browsing (some setting in emacs-w3m and
some extension in firefox). If it really is necessary, I can try to
trace it, but I have each 'loaded up' quite heavily and it seems that
since Tobias has already identified the cause as an HTML "special"ness,
there's no need.
BTW, for some reason debbugs.gnu.org didn't automatically subscribe me
to this thread, even though I authored it. You seem to have actively
cc'ed me, but I needed to navigate to the bugreport URI to see the input
from Tobias and Quiliro.

Hello,
Most redirects are now gone (that is, the web site itself doesn’t refer
to them), so I think we can close this bug.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
