Editor's draft: avoid redirects #1453

Open deniak opened 2 years ago

deniak commented 2 years ago

Some specifications, e.g. https://www.w3.org/TR/secure-payment-confirmation/, lists an ED that leads to a 301. It would be good to avoid the unnecessary redirect.

Another recent example is the version of WAI-ARIA 1.2 published yesterday

@michael-n-cooper, do you know who submitted the last wai-aria-1.2 to Echidna? I see spec-prod is skipping the publication so I'm guessing someone triggered the publication manually. I'm asking because the editor's draft lists the ED with the trailing slash and the source file has the same ED for some times so someone must have remove the trailing slash at some point.

I updated the ED to add the trailing slash in the database.

@deniak just saw this, apologies for the error in the doc, I've found and fixed it in our source
