[tor-bugs] #11672 [EFF-HTTPS Everywhere]: Unwanted (invalid) redirection for OskiCat @ UC Berkeley
#11672: Unwanted (invalid) redirection for OskiCat @ UC Berkeley

----------------------------------+----------------------
On Firefox Nightly (I am using version 31 as of 1 May 2014) and HTTPS
Everywhere 4.0 development 16, attempting to visit UC Berkeley's OskiCat
(Library) Service results in HTTPS Everywhere rewriting the request to
send me to an entirely invalid site. This was observed on a machine
running Fedora 20, though should be platform-agnostic given the nature of
the software involved.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox.
2. Ensuring that HTTPS Everywhere is enabled, attempt to visit
"oskicat.berkeley.edu." Prepending "https://"; or "http://"; should be
irrelevant and optional, as HTTPS Everywhere will proceed to bug out on
either case (in the absence of "http(s)://," I believe Firefox adds it
implicitly).
3. Watch as Firefox immediately redirects you to the invalid, mispelled
URL "https://oskicatp.berkeleye.edu/"; or some variant thereof. For
example, I receive that URL on either "http://"; or entirely without
prefix. If I start with typing "https://,"; I get
"https://oskicatp.berkeleye.edu/somethingsomethingsometing"; (not verbatim,
it looks like it tries to take me to a login page, "oskicatp"
notwithstanding).
Temporary Workaround:
1. Open Firefox.
2. Disable HTTPS Everywhere, either entirely or only on the UC Berkeley
websites ("University of California (partial)."
3. Visit OskiCat as normal (oskicat.berkeley.edu no longer redirects to
oskicatp.berkeleye.edu).
