Broken links to numeric cast.

Reported by: jensseidel@… Owned by: Daniel James
Milestone: Boost 1.36.0 Component: Documentation
Version: Boost 1.35.0 Severity: Problem

Description

The page http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/numeric/conversion/doc/numeric_cast.html exists together with links to it but is empty. I suggest to search for all empty files and to fix this problem.

Status: newassigned
Summary: empty page on websiteBroken links to numeric cast.

This is actually a case of broken links - the documentation has moved in the new release. I might put up some redirects where appropriate, although that's a very short term solution that could easily get out of hand so it would be a bad idea to get into the habit.

I'm going to look into all these problems soon.

OK, but the page was indeed empty and not missing ...

comment:3 by Daniel James, 15 years ago

The page doesn't exist in the distribution, the script that produces the website documentation pages creates an empty page when this happens. I'm going to look into changing it to return a 404 error instead.

404 if there is an error extracting a file from the zip. Not always correct but probably better than returing a blank page. A little hacky.

Allow the redirect link for the config library to work.
