Is it possible to safely redirect mxr to dxr?
When I use my awesomebar and type "docshell", it pulls up
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp.
I click enter and end up at the mxr error page. So instead I do a dxr
search for docshell and scroll through a list of results, none of which
seem to give me a link to nsDocShell.cpp. It would be great if the mxr
link sent me directly to
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp.
Alternatively, I could create an addon that does this or try and write a
script that would change my history entries.
Thanks!

Mozilla Cross-Reference, better known as MXR
(https://mxr.mozilla.org), was taken offline on June 13, 2016, to
investigate a potential security issue. After careful review of the
codebase, we have decided to accelerate the planned transition from
MXR to its more modern equivalent, DXR (https://dxr.mozilla.org),
instead of bringing MXR back online. As far as we know there was never
a security compromise, but the unsupported legacy codebase (forked
from an old version of LXR) would require significant time and effort
to rewrite and bring up to spec.
Our transition plan is as follows:
*
Add an interstitial web page at https://mxr.mozilla.orgthat
displays a best-guess URL for the equivalent
https://dxr.mozilla.orgfile data. This will help interactive users
retrieve data from historical links in applications like Bugzilla.
*
Redirect certdata.txt and effective_tld_names.dat to their
canonical source code repositories instead of DXR. All other
search queries and automatic pulling of raw files by third parties
will no longer be supported at the https://mxr.mozilla.orgURL.
*
Index the remaining repos listed in MXR in DXR for data parity,
using bug 1281443 to track progress. Repos will be indexed in the
order listed unless otherwise specified. If you need to prioritize
the indexing of specific repos, please open a bug and block
against bug 1281443.
Our expectation is that the interstitial page will be in place and the
following remaining high-priority repos will be indexed by June 24th,
2016:
*
add-ons
*
servo
*
l10n
If you have concerns, questions, or requests, please open a new bug
and mark it as blocking bug 1281443 or add a comment to one of its
existing dependent bugs. Additional status updates will also be posted
to bug 1281443 and its dependent bugs.
