About a year ago, several migration scripts were run to change old HTTP network-internal links across the network to HTTPS links. However, it appears that the script didn't modify links that lack the ending /
. For example:
- 303 results for http://stackoverflow.com
- 194 results for http://superuser.com
- 138 results for http://programmers.stackexchange.com
- 37 results for http://apple.stackexchange.com
But...
- 8 results for http://stackoverflow.com/ (most of which are posts after the migration script ran; the other two were edited back after Community edited them)
- 5 results for http://superuser.com/ (4 were posted after the script ran, one seems to have been overlooked by the script)
- 0 results for http://programmers.stackexchange.com/
- 1 result for http://apple.stackexchange.com/ (only one was posted after the script ran)
So, excluding cases where the posts were made after the script ran, were edited back after the script modified them, or were somehow overlooked by the script (probably a separate bug), all of the HTTP links in posts which were added before the script ran have been converted into HTTPS links, if they contained the ending /
. Links that didn't contain the ending /
were not converted.
