Spring Security reference doc links not working

[dreis2211]

Hi,

I noticed that the links to the Spring Security Reference are not working in the current snapshot docs. https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#web.security

I don't know if this is maybe a spring-security issue or if it's just a matter of adjusting to a new location, but maybe you could coordinate/forward this.

Cheers,
Christoph

Thanks, @dreis2211. https://spring.io/projects/spring-security#learn links to https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/ which works but it's unversioned so we'd prefer not to use it. The 5.6.0-RC1 javadoc link (https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/docs/5.6.0-RC1/api/) is versioned but it 404s. There are a few other broken links on Spring Security's project page. I'll ask the Security team to take a look.

The versioned docs seem to be at https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/5.6.0-RC1/ but there's only API documentation there.

https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/5.6/ is the link for the updated reference docs. Security is moving to a model where the URL will only include the major.minor version with each maintenance release overwriting the previous release's documentation.
