Email confirmation link didn't work #77

Closed benfrancis closed 5 years ago

benfrancis commented 5 years ago

A user reported that they received an email confirmation email that:

  1. Wasn't a clickable hyperlink
  2. When they copy-pasted it into the browser, the URL failed to load with a security error

That was all the information they gave.

The first issue should now be fixed. We've had reports of the second before, but I've never been able to reproduce. When given the "broken" URL, I've always been able to reach it.

kgiori commented 5 years ago

the inability to click directly from the e-mail and see the confirmation page in the browser happens to me because the browser tries to redirect to https://api...

but if I copy and paste the e-mail URL into a "New Private Window" when using Firefox, then it succeeds.

For some reason, some users are getting redirected to https://api.mozilla-iot.org, without the :8443 appended. Trying to figure out what's going on.

I made some changes on the server. Guess we'll have to wait and see if this is fixed. Everything works for me, but it always has.

mrstegeman commented 5 years ago

I'm going to call this fixed now. Let's re-open if we see this again.
