There was a "~" in front, and yes, you're right, "one week" is different from "four weeks". But: I don't track this file in git or somewhere else, so I can't tell for sure, because I've just relied on the provided config, up until recently. I did so much Debian stuff the last time that I actually don't remember the exact date. The only thing I'm sure about: I needed to alter the config recently (within February or March 2018) because the old config didn't work anymore. Back then I hadn't time to debug this further, so I've just tried to make the config work. > What changed, back the 2018-02-23, is that before there was a redirect > from http to https for everything except /upload, whereas now we > accidentally moved to redirect everything *including* /upload. > Apparently there was a reason for that exception that was accidentally > dropped, but I believe moving to https is fine, and things seem to > work just fine after s/http/https/ so I'd rather not add that > exception anymore.

I'm doing this now, again, after reading the initial mails of this thread, see above. I've to admit: I'm not really getting your point, Mattia. Cheers, Georg
