Unable to find old update_excuses easily

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Hi,
The tickets usually hold a nice list of "list of past excuses"
I'd have hoped that I can still somehow access these but for a while I failed to construct the right link.

In the meantime I found that I can concat
https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/<AUTH-key>/bileto-<TICKETNO>-excuses/
And add the path with a date like
2017-01-19_18:05:02/<TICKETNO>_zesty_excuses.html

Would it make sense to make the Page https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/<AUTH-key>/bileto-<TICKETNO>-excuses/ (or the list of past excuses itself) with links to them?

The base address without the "/?format=plain#list_of_past_excuses" suffix seems XML anyway.
Maybe just throw a xstl there which does that?

For now I use a silly script (attached) to make those available which can sometimes be really handy.

Yeah that would be nice for sure, unfortunately what you're describing isn't in bileto at all, it's a generic swift container. I don't have any control over it at all. So there'll be no "just throw an xslt in there", it would require developing a whole new endpoint that manually scans the swift container and then provides all links.

I just copy & paste the line from the list page into the URL when I want to dig up a historical excuse page.
