Install website and website_hr_recruitment, open /web with ?debug=1, go
to website > configuration > redirect, create a temporary (302)
redirection from `/jobs/detail/experienced-developer-4` to `/404`. Open
the `/jobs/detail/experienced-developer-4` as admin and unpublish the
page. Open the same URL via private browsing (so that you are not
connected), you get the default 403 - Forbidden page, you were not
redirected to the 404 - Not Found page.
Custom 301 (permanent) and 302 (temporary) redirections are fallback
redirections when the requested page does not exist or is not accessible
to the current user. The HTTPocalypse broke the later case, it was not
checking for existing redirection upon access error.
The use case is the one supported with [1] where people want/need to
display something better than a 403 when they unpublish a record like a
job position for instance (most of the requested cases on opw).
Indeed:
- People have link to that record/job everywhere on the internet
- The job position / record is no more relevant, and people need to
unpublish it
- People don't want to delete it (or can't sometimes due to record
relations)
- People don't want visitors to land on a 403, mainly because it is a
non customizable advanced/technical page (it displays a technical
message including the record name etc)
- Their need is to either land a their customizable friendly 404 or
sometimes on another record to promote it.
