Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-3932:
---------------------------------------------
bq. How do they not work?
Left-click does not result in any observable action by the browser under these
circumstances (verified on latest Chrome and Firefox).
bq. Can you open up the browser's console and see if there are javascript
errors?
Tried that. No errors in the console.
bq. Or, you could user the debugger
There's little debug output available, since the plugin (in my case, Ghostery,
but could be different in others' cases) blocks the outgoing request to
Google's server.
bq. IMO, the first question to answer is whether or not we want the site to
work w/o JS being enabled.
That question is moot for this issue. The page works fine with javascript
disabled. The links will go to the mirror redirector page by default if
javascript is disabled. The mirror-selection drop-down and direct links to the
selected mirror only work when javascript is enabled. This particular issue
occurs when javascript is enabled, but the outgoing request to google-analytics
is blocked.
> Download page on site, links don't work when google analytics is blocked

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: website
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Minor
>
> The links on the download page don't work with left-click if google analytics
> are blocked with a plugin (like Ghostery).
> Right clicking to download with "Save as..." does still work, but that won't
> work if scripts are blocked entirely. When scripts are blocked, the mirror
> selection is not done automatically, and the links take you to the mirror
> redirector page, and not the direct downloads. So, right-click won't work in
> that case, and left-click is pretty important.
> We could probably make our links a bit smarter, but I'm no JavaScript expert,
> so the fix is not immediately obvious to me.
