#42788 [Opn->Bgs]: Website inaccessibility

ID: 42788 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: shop at imaginatorium dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Linux (irrelevant) PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This is totally bogus claim you are making. We redirect you however to a mirror near you, but the language presented is the language your browser is asking for. Either stop sending Japanese accept-language headers or configure your preferred language manually on http://php.net/my.php -Hannes Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-28 12:37:31] shop at imaginatorium dot org Description: ------------ The php.net website does "prejudicial redirection". It looks up the user's IP, decides what country the user is in, and falsely assumes that this determines the language the user wants to read the manual in. This is a ***totally stupid idea***, so please stop doing it. There is no obvious way, even though I can read Japanese, for me to get back from the Japanese version of the manual to the one that the google search directed me to. Please, there are no ifs and buts - if a web search shows page x, that is what you should show. I don't know if it's possible to complain to google to have you barred for (effectively) cloaking one page with another, but if necessary I will complain. I hope you can agree to make a rapid conversion to proper behaviour. Thanks.
