Dead link

There is a dead link for "Piano Sonata No.16, K.545 (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus)", am I right?

I think there are quite a few dead links right now (all are dead that I've tried.). I think they are doing some upgrading today so that's probably the cause. I'm sure they're working on it so give it some time.

That link should not be dead, and in fact works fine for me. Can you give me the exact link?

There are a few minor bugs after the upgrade, but because of prior testing (I tested the thing for 3 days), the bugs should be quite minor, and certainly not on the level of mass broken links...

I still haven't found a pdf link that works. Here's an example:

http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.40_%2 ... Amadeus%29

When I click on the top pdf I get the following error:

Code: Select all

The requested URL /images/imslp.ca/1/1a/Mozart_-_Symphony_No_40_in_G_minor,_K550.pdf was not found on this server.

Here is the full URL: http://imslp.ca/images/imslp.ca/1%2F1a% ... C_K550.pdf

Ok, here's the problem. For some reason some of the slashes are being escaped. When I manually enter http://imslp.ca/images/imslp.ca/1/1a/Mo ... C_K550.pdf it works.

I also realized what the problem was after you gave me that link. Apparently the file I tested didn't have doubly escaped characters, and so didn't have that problem. I couldn't test this portion of the site in the last three days because of a configuration difference between the test server and this server...

Basically, I tried escaping the redirect to try to work around reported Safari bugs (which I thought was caused by this), but apparently broke it much worse instead.

Anyway its fixed now
