This enhancement has really been done. There is now a forward to the plugin portal application. There are some complaints that even the 0 second forward takes too long so please reopen this if you think the current solution is not optimal. Well my suggestion was slightly different - the content should live at "/", not "PluginPortal/". There is nothing else on the host, nor should there be, so why not put it at the root ? It makes for shorter, neater URLs. I do think the redirect is pretty clunky - I would definitely vote for some other soloution if possible. Displaying the "server up" msg first seems pretty unprofessional. |
The URL above shows a default server msg ("Your server is up and running!"). Ideally, that is where the plugin portal should live - shorter, nicer URL. A redirect would work, but why not have it *really* there ?
