Requests: URL in readme (https://2.python-requests.org/) is http only

Created on 25 Sep 2019 · 13Comments · Source: psf/requests

The URL //2.python-requests.org/ (which is in the readme) automatically resolves to https://2.python-requests.org which is down (there is no HTTPS version of the site). The HTTP version of the site, http://2.python-requests.org, is fine.

Expected Result

I expect that when I click the link in the readme, it goes to a page that exists.

Actual Result

When I click the link in the readme, the // prefix resolves to https://, but there is no HTTPS version of 2.python-requests.org, so the page does not load.

Reproduction Steps

>>> import requests

>>> requests.get('https://2.python-requests.org/')

Can you fix up the redirect from `docs.pyhon-requests.org' so that it doesn't redirect to a URL that cannot work?

http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/objects.inv -> https://2.python-requests.org//en/master/objects.inv which now doesn't work.

It would be nice if the all old URLs could continue working and 30X to the new location.

I moved the site to requests.kennethreitz.org, in preparation to it being requests.psf.org (or something similar, ideally).

requests.kennethreitz.org is blocked by company policy. docs.pyhon-requests.org was working fine.

Is anyone working to fix this? Mainly I am forced to remove requests documentation links due to this bug.

ssbarnea on 12 Oct 2019

Link to the documention on PyPi page is not working.

https://pypi.org/project/requests2/

pelid on 15 Oct 2019

https://requests.readthedocs.io/ is working fine as far as I can tell.

URL in readme was changed by @Leetcore

https://github.com/psf/requests/commit/74b72ce4265583db0430080ab67d3d5e0c4b44b2

Closing this issue, as 2.python-requests.org is no longer mentioned anywhere in docs

chmreid on 17 Oct 2019

Search results still use this URL - search for get and then choose the first result - the URL is https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/user/install/#get-the-source-code

ashb on 18 Oct 2019

And as @pelid mentioned the published release still links to http://docs.python-requests.org/ which redirects to https://2.python-requests.org/ which doesn't work.

ashb on 18 Oct 2019

Just made an attempt to fix the docs. The amount of links inside the documentation would make a SEO Marketer envious. I doubt that's possible to repeat yourself more often that with this.

Please have a look and point if there are mistakes.
