in reply to rt://46333 links to rt.perl.org not rt.cpan.org

I've checked, and can confirm, this.

In the short term, I imagine fixing this is just a matter of s/perl/cpan/ in the code that generates the link.

In the longer term, can I suggest something similar to what's currently used for [man://]:

    I'm not sure how nodes are stored internally, but I suspect that might break the links in nodes that have come to rely on the current behavior. Maybe it's the documentation that should be fixed first.

      G'day haukex,

      That seemed like a reasonable comment when I read it; however, I then read jdporter's response: the "current behavior" is actually only very recent behaviour.

      Anyway, as per his subsequent response, the current behaviour is back to the original behaviour. The link I put in my private scratchpad ([rt://46333]), to initially check the reported problem, now resolves to http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=46333, so this is again working as documented.

      Having said that, there are two documentation issues. When the change to [rt://] was made ("on 2016-12-21"):

        Ah, in that case I withdraw my comment :-) I'll also have to check my nodes since I think I recently used the [rt://] link...

    Hi,

    How about, instead

    rt:// keeps going to cpan .... and rtp:// goes to perl?

    But I haven't done any search to see how people have been using or misusing rt:// ...

    But perlrt, perlbug, cpanrt sound better to me

    perldeltas use  [perl #113054] and [cpan #86613] which also sounds good to me :)

      I was only making a suggestion (based on existing usage with [man://]). Your suggestions also have merit. Let's see what others think.

      I don't use [rt://] myself. When I have posted links to either of those, it's typically after viewing the ticket, and a copy/paste of the RT's URI is less work than typing rt://....
