Description Martin Frodl 2016-04-06 09:34:34 UTC

Description of problem:
When trying to switch the language of HTML manual pages more than once, the result is always 'Not Found'. Specifically, clicking e.g. the 'fr' link for the first time redirects user to the '/fr' namespace within which all subsequent links will be interpreted. When a language link is clicked again now, user is redirected to a page within, say, the /fr/en namespace, rather than switching to /en. Since /fr/en or any analogous directories do not exist on the server, a 'Not Found' error is returned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
httpd24-httpd-manual-2.4.12-4.el6.2.noarch
httpd24-httpd-manual-2.4.12-6.el7.1.noarch

How reproducible:
Well.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum -y install httpd24 httpd24-httpd httpd24-httpd-manual
2. service httpd24-httpd start
3. In browser, go to http://localhost/manual/
4. Click one of the 'Available Languages', e.g. 'fr'
5. Click one of the 'Available Languages', e.g. 'en'

Actual results:
Goes to http://localhost/manual/fr/en/, which does not exist.

Expected results:
Go to http://localhost/manual/en/.

Additional info:
This 'language cumulation' happens on any manual page, not just the main one.

Nice catch, looks broken for a while.  I've fixed this in Fedora by using redirects for every /manual/??/ language link.
