Comment 2 for bug 1869218

This is supposed to be served due to a .htaccess file specifying "ReadmeName FOOTER.html". That is generated by ubuntu-cdimage (lib/cdimage/tree.py).

OK, let's look to see if that does happen. Picking a directory:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/20200326/

The bug is right: there is no footer there. But if I run this on the cdimage host:

  laney@nusakan:/srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/www/full/daily-live/20200326$ grep ReadmeName .htaccess
  ReadmeName FOOTER.html

it is there (FOOTER.html exists too; you can see this by visiting http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/20200326/FOOTER.html).

So I believe this must be a matter of the web server's configuration. The cdimage team themselves don't manage the actual frontend servers which serve our content. We'll need to involve Canonical IS to have a look at the configuration that's in use, and ideally help us diagnose why the "ReadmeName" doesn't work.

xnox, are you up for doing at least the requesting / asking if they can help us?
