But knowing that now one thing comes to my mind:
If we *would* enable permanent redirection to HTTPS for the website, we
may have to exclude http://installation.openoffice.org/description
otherwise it would break the update feed?
No, this is not a problem. It is not a real URL. See it more as a
string, like if it was "TheOpenOfficeUpdateFeedSchema". Historically a
URL is used for this purpose, but it can be an invented URL like
http://the.openoffice.update.feed.schema since nobody uses it as a URL.
I think https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_namespaces.asp gives a good
explanation, summarized as follows:
- The namespace URI is not used by the parser to look up information.
- The purpose of using an URI is to give the namespace a unique name.
- However, companies often use the namespace as a pointer to a web page
containing namespace information.
Actually, until a few years ago the URL was not existing at all (if one
clicked on it a 404 would appear). Then we decided to put something at
the URL. But the reason it broke is simply that the string changed: the
fact that it looks like a URL is irrelevant in this respect.
OK, I will add German and French then, leaving Mac out. Tomorrow (or
Monday?) all remaining languages will follow (without Mac).
OK, good plan.
