Backport #90067

20.09 sympa is now 6.2.60 so this is required.


Our regex for splitting HTTP path into SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO was
incorrect when webLocation was set to "/". Since Sympa 6.2.56 this has
caused the web interface to return "421 Misdirected Request".

Since 6.2.56 Sympa can do the splitting on its own so we can simply
remove it from nginx configuration.

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Heh, this landed in 20.03 and master but not 20.09 due to the timing.

Unfortunately NixOS 20.09 has reached its end-of-life status on 2021-07-01, one
month after the release of NixOS 21.05.

Since we do not accept any changes to its branches anymore, I'm closing this pull
request.
