Apps tab shows FreshSlice pizza website (Misconfigured mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com)

[Jeremie Miserez]

The "Apps" tab in Ubuntu Tweak simply shows a web page from FreshSlice (a pizza company), instead of the correct Apps tab contents. The exact page shown in app is http://106.187.49.191/ , although the HTML is not displayed fully.

Using Wireshark, I have traced the problem to mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com, which is misconfigured. Note: mirror2.ubuntu-tweak.com works perfectly, while mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com does not.

Expected:
- Apps tab shows: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/utapp/

Actual:
- Apps tab shows: http://106.187.49.191/ (or http://mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com/)

Reason:
- mirror2.ubuntu-tweak.com sends HTTP 301 "Moved permanently" for "/utapp/" and redirects to "http://ubuntu-tweak.com/utapp/"
- http://ubuntu-tweak.com/utapp/ is the correct website

but with mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com:
- mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com returns FreshSlice Pizza website (HTTP 200 OK for "/utapp/", but returns FreshSlice page)

Reproducable:
- Not 100%, although after a couple of tries (restart the app, possibly reconnect the network) it should come up.

Proposed resolution:
1. Either fix mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com to properly redirect to "http://ubuntu-tweak.com/utapp/"
2. OR Remove mirror.ubuntu-tweak.com from the app.

I am running Ubuntu 13.10 x64 with the latest updates.

Also note that the Apps tab shows whatever landing page there is if you are logged into a public hotspot. It might be a good idea to actually check if the correct page was returned and display a "network error" or similar if a wrong page is returned.

Thanks for your report.

This caused by a mis-configuration on my VPS, now it is fixed :)
