Even reloading it yields a valid page. Any ideas? I couldn't find the bug tracker for gitweb. Thanks, Jesse ``` ## Shawn Pearce, 2011-02-19 01:18 Subject: Re: Gitweb complains "404 - No such project" when following links from Gmail Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/AANLkTim4%3DvKvNeGLhXzW9Z9eSQ50OriBN7%3Doqf5_AUnb%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 17:12, Jesse Wilson wrote: > I've seen the following error on all git web deployments I've tried, > including the Linux Kernel and Android: > >    /android/git / >   404 - No such project > > Reproduce this by following this this link from the Gmail web app: > http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/java/android/hardware/SensorManager.java > > Pasting the same link into a browser's address bar yields a valid > page. Even reloading it yields a valid page. I think the issue is Gmail encodes the ";" as %3B. This confuses gitweb. IMHO, its a bug in Gmail, Gmail shouldn't be encoding ; as %3B when it creates the anchor. -- Shawn. ```
