View this message in rfc822 format
With Emacs 26.1, M-x gnus-read-ephemeral-bug-group RET
foobar RET gives "gnus-list-of-unread-articles: Group
nndoc+ephemeral:bug#0 couldn’t be activated", while leaving
a temporary file with the contents:
| <HTML>
| <HEAD><TITLE>Error</TITLE></HEAD>
| <BODY>
| An error occurred.
| Error was: No bug number
| </BODY></HTML>
behind in /tmp.
This also happens with gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group
and gnus-read-ephemeral-debian-bug-group.
For GNU bugs, fixing this might be made easier by updating
debbugs.gnu.org as it currently returns 200 OK for non-ex-
isting bugs:
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ curl -is 'https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=foobar;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes' | head -1
| HTTP/1.1 200 OK
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$
while bugs.debian.org gives a status code that can be used
for diagnostics:
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ curl -is 'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595256;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes' | head -1
| HTTP/1.1 200 OK
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$ curl -is 'https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4711;mboxmaint=yes;mboxstat=yes' | head -1
| HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
| [tim <at> passepartout ~]$
