Bug: inconsistent error reporting for invalid mailing lists
Whilst logged out of lists.a.o
----------------------------
A) https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
"No emails found fitting this criteria"
B) https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
Shows a popup "List not found!"
then
"No emails found fitting this criteria"
Now login to lists.a.o
---------------------
C) https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
"No emails found fitting this criteria"
D) https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
No error message; redirects to:
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
E) https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
No error message; redirects to:
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]
----------------------------------
The correct behaviour is B): an error is reported and the URL is not
changed.
The behaviour for A) and C) is misleading as it implies there may be mails.
The behaviour for D) and E) is really confusing. It would be better if the
code did not redirect at all.
But at the very least it should display a pop-up error first.
