[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-12650) Redirect Users to Documentation Homepage if Requested Resource Does Not Exist

["Chesnay Schepler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12650?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16856538#comment-16856538 ] 

Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-12650:
------------------------------------------

We have a script to check for broken links that we run in a cron job (docs/check_links.sh). If we always redirect to the homepage in case of a 404, will this render this script obsolete for internal links?

> Currently, if you go open a documentation page, which does not exist like 
> https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/dev/event_timed.html
> the reply is a 404. In preparation of a larger restructuring, it would be good if instead of a 404 we would redirect the user to the documentation homepage for this version of the docs.
