I'm gonna update the NEWS entry with the removal of the .php suffix and that should solve the issue though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-29 10:54:15] tyrael@php.net I had a hard time reproducing the problem, as I was getting properly redirected to a mirror where the docs are working properly, but it seems that the https url can be used to reproduce the issue consistently: https://www.php.net/functions.arguments.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-29 10:23:28] php at bof dot de Description: ------------ For me, following the link to the variadic function doc on the frontpage, when visiting http://php.net, misdirects to the manual lookup page on php.net, instead of redirecting to the right page on a mirror. Ferenc asked me to report this here. The issue depends on my IP; I'm using German T-Online with IP 91.53.9.6 at the moment, when it does not work. See expected/actual results, "expected" from a different IP address somewhere else in Germany, "actual" from my home IP. (NOTE: I manually added spaces between "http" and "://php.net..." below, because otherwise the bug tracker tells me "SPAM detected". Sigh.
