Change Details

Under MW 1.26.3 and 1.27. When canonical URL follow an ultra-short `http[s]://(mydomain)/Page_title` scheme and a page with the title beginning with a slash (`/`) is requested, an endless permanent redirect (301) is served. It happens for both `http[s]://(mydomain)//etc` and `http[s]://(mydomain)/w/index.php?title=/etc`-type requests for the page titled "/etc". The metod `WebRequest::getGlobalRequestURL()` (lines 792-799) "normalises" the URL by removing all leading slashes but one, and then `MediaWiki::tryNormaliseRedirect ()` in lines 344-348 redirects. Although, in my opinion, the error is in `WebRequest::getGlobalRequestURL()`, and was there for some time; it was revealed by introducing `MediaWiki` class in MW 1.26.3.

There is a similar, though less severe, bug T113160. But this one blocks upgrading to MW 1.26.3 or MW 1.27.
