Bad footer link

[michaelcpuckett]

When I just checked the footer link for GSA, it goes to https://gsa.gov/ but that is a forbidden page. I think it should instead link to https://www.gsa.gov - or whoever hosts that website should be notified and advised to add a redirect or similar.

This might have been fixed already since this issue was posted. https://gsa.gov/ appears to resolve correctly.

$ curl -I https://gsa.gov/
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1

X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

Also worked when I clicked on the footer link directly in Chrome and Safari.

Wow, weird. It's doesn't work over wifi on my MacBook or LTE on my iPhone. Are you perhaps using a government network? If not, could just be me...

$ curl -I https://gsa.gov/

Weird. I was on my home network before when testing and it worked, but just tried on my iPhone off wifi and got the same 403.

So something somewhere is wrong.

@michaelcpuckett It seems like this is an error on GSA's side, but that www.gsa.gov will resolve more consistently for folks. Can you verify that www works as expected?

[michaelcpuckett]

Yes, it works for me with www subdomain.

FWIW, https://gsa.gov works for me right now.

▶ httpstat -k https://gsa.gov

It looks like www.gsa.gov is CNAMEd to another record that has two A records attached to it. That might be more reliable.

GSA is still in-process of migrating to HTTPS, it's not a default or advertised feature yet. So I would revert the link to http://www.gsa.gov or http://gsa.gov for now.
