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

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-6300?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebb reopened INFRA-6300:
-------------------------


https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2013-05-21/Establish_Onami now returns

500 Server error and the following page contents

#<TypeError: can't convert nil into String>
  /var/www/whimsy/board/agenda.cgi:81:in `read'
  /var/www/whimsy/board/agenda.cgi:81:in `block in <main>'
  /var/www/whimsy/board/agenda.cgi:466:in `call'
  /var/www/whimsy/board/agenda.cgi:466:in `block (2 levels) in <main>'
  /var/www/whimsy/board/agenda.cgi:465:in `block in <main>'

That looks wrong; surely 404 would be better?

> https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2013-05-21/Establish_Onami returns 200.  It should return 40x or 50x code, since there's no such resolution in May.  tlpreq depends on the error code correctness here; if this is not fixed in whimsy, tlpreq/scripts/ldap would need to be patched.
