I'm aware that you guys have been tinkering with the SL Wiki recently, and so this might be a consequence of those changes — or not.
I was reviewing some information on the SL Wiki, and suddenly realised that one of my templates was broken (
Template:Code
): it spewed out the
<syntaxhighlighting...>
pseudo-tags, as expected, but these weren't recognised by the MediaWiki parsing mechanism. I thought that the problem was somehow on that template, but I quickly noticed that it's widespread:
none
of the pages using syntax highlighting work. Even those still using
<source...>
stopped working, and I suspect the same applies to a
lot
of other 'automatic' tags (regular templates seem to be fine... so long as they don't rely on the built-in tags).
I wondered how nobody had noticed this — even considering that the SL Wiki might not be that much used in general — but at least the built-in LSL editor, which uses as 'help' a link to the LSL Portal section, should have been immediately tagged by someone wondering why none of the code was showing up as before.
Well, the reason is simple to understand: all built-in functions give the following error:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/llHTTPRequest" on this server.
Reference #18.4c671702.1748621307.5b5badf
https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.4c671702.1748621307.5b5badf
(see attachment)
Note that the URL for the error reference doesn't work, either, but that's not
your
problem. 😂
My first impression was that the culprit was your Akamai/Edgesuite and/or AWS configuration — it wasn't properly redirecting
http://
to
https://
. Thus, the issue. However, all the browsers I could grab will automagically replace
http://
with
https://
, so I couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
curl
to the rescue...

Ok, so far so good, configured exactly as expected!

Hmm. That doesn't look so good. It will really require some Linden love to get it working again!
Well, good luck; hopefully, fixing one issue will also fix the other; or else you just have
two
issues to fix!

P.S.: Note that I've also tried to use different user-agent headers, just in case that was the reason for the failed permission (found on a forum discussing the specific error given by Akamai/Edgesite).
