Behavior

Description

On the README page https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython, README.rst, under Documentation, I clicked on the link Read The Docs (http://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?) . I 'landed' on an error page saying 403 Forbidden. (see the annotated screenshot above).

Additional information

I used webbrowser Chrome in MS Windows 11.
I double-checked with browser Microsoft Edge. Same result.

The problem seems to be inside the https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/index.html.
If I enter a search term it redirects me to 403 forbidden. When I click on on of the items listed on the page, e.g. adapter, BluetoothError or RoleError, the same happens.

I can't reproduce here. I visited https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/README.html then entered RoleError and selected the first/only hit. This took me to https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/_bleio/index.html#bleio.RoleError which displays in my browser

If I click the link RoleError (not using search) then it also works, linking me to the same page and anchor https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/_bleio/index.html#bleio.RoleError

My browser is Firefox 105.0.3 on Debian Linux. Besides on my home internet in the midwest US, I also tried curl -I from DigitalOcean droplets in their NYC and SFO datacenters and got "HTTP/2 200" responses, which indicate success.

It doesn't match the symptoms you reported, but it's notable that cloudflare recorded an outage today. The incident report states that there were "Increased HTTP 530 Errors" and was resolved earlier today.

Hi Jeff, thank you! You're right. I just checked, now that link works. I just saw on the Portuguese TV that there was here also an outage of WhatsApp. So I close this issue.
