[jira] [Resolved] (SOLR-7413) Website: downloading past releases is
harder than it should be

> Key: SOLR-7413
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7413
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: website
> Reporter: Steven Rowe
> Assignee: Steven Rowe
> Priority: Minor
>
> Clicking on the "Download" button at the top of every Solr website page takes you to [http://lucene.apache.org/solr/mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html] (let's call it the download-redirect page), which pauses for 3 seconds and then auto-redirects to the Apache download mirror page for the latest Solr release. The download-redirect page has info about downloading past releases, but there are problems with the current setup:
> # The 3 second auto-redirect doesn't allow enough time to read the page before it's gone.
> # Firefox (latest version, on OS X and Windows) doesn't include the page in its browser history, so you can't go back - clicking the back button will take you to the page you were on when you clicked the "Download" button, not back to the download-redirect page.
> # Internet Explorer and Chrome include the download-redirect page in their history, so clicking the back button will go there, but then after three seconds you get redirected to the Apache download mirrors page, whack-a-mole style.
> When I was putting the download-redirect page together, I guess I only tested on Safari on OS X 10.10. This browser keeps the download-redirect page in its history, so clicking the back button after the auto-redirect takes you to the mirror pages will take you back to the download-redirect page, and the auto-redirect never recurs.
