  • tcl.tk manual pages currently broken

    From Jan Mercl@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 8 12:12:05 2021
    For example the page at https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/ has a link with text "Tcl/Tk Applications" that points to https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/UserCmd/contents.htm, but when clicked, the result is the browser ({Chrome,Firefox}/Linux) trying to open 'http:
    //man/tcl8.6/UserCmd/contents.htm' and that of course doesn't work.

    Can confirm it's doing the same thing for me (Firefox on Windows). The original link is totally fine so it must be a broken redirect rule on the server I would guess.

    I think it was working again a day or two ago, but right now (13:07 CET) it is broken again. In the same way as described in the OP, November 9th.
