>                 Key: MNGSITE-260
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-260
>             Project: Maven Project Web Site
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Sebb
>            Priority: Major
>
> The download pages for maven plugins are being redirected to the default ASF download page, rather than using the specific pages.
> For example:
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/
> has the download link
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/download.html
> which is redirected by the Maven .htaccess file to
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/download.cgi
> which uses the default ASF download page.
> This is because all .cgi script accesses are now rewritten to use closer.lua.
> The closer.lua script uses the original cgi url details to find the correct HTML skeleton page; if it cannot find the page, then it defaults to the basic ASF page at 
> http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.html
> It cannot find the correct html file because it is not at the original location; there are other redirects in the Maven htaccess file [1] which mean the html file is actually to be found at:
> http://maven.apache.org/components/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/download.html
> The closer.lua script needs to know the correct location of the html file after any redirects.
> So a work-round is to change the download link from
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/download.html
> to
> http://maven.apache.org/components/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/download.html
> However, I think the problem is probably due to the following unconditional redirect:
> RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*)/download.html$ http://maven.apache.org/$1/download.cgi
> which appears at the start of the file.
> If this were done at the end of the file, it might allow the server to pass the actual html file location to the closer.lua script.
> Worth a try.
