They actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance.

https://www.spacejam.com/1996/






They managed to break https://www.spacejam.com/ though. It redirects to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ which has a bad cert and then goes into a redirect loop.

So broken after just 4 years


Hey give Disney a break they're a small company with only a few employees. Maybe tbe certifier is on vacation.

Looney toons is a Warner Brothers property, not Disney.

I wasn't thinking. you are of course correct. My brain conflated because both are based in burbank. yeah, that's what i am going with.

Hmm, I didn't get a redirect https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/


Sorry, my previous comment omitted a word. I meant to say "I didn't get a redirect to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ ".

slyall claimed to be redirected to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ .


I got the loop in both desktop Chrome and Firefox, as well as Android Chrome, Brave and Firefox (though these timed out after a few loops, unlike the desktop).

Were you maybe on Safari/iOS?


I visited https://www.spacejam.com/ with Chrome on Windows, Firefox on Windows, and Chrome on Android. It didn't redirect for any of them.

The loop most definitely exists. It's rather odd you're not seeing it. Everything I can use to talk to the server gets the 301/302 redirects.

Using yet another machine and curl:

    curl -vvv --insecure https://spacejam.com

Your request to https://spacejam.com is redirected to https://www.spacejam.com/ .

Your request to http://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net is redirected to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ .

You never tried making a request to https://www.spacejam.com/ .

Go to https://reqbin.com/ and enter https://spacejam.com . It gives 1 redirect (to https://www.spacejam.com/ ) then HTML.


I think you missed which servers are connected at the end of which request, there.

Reqbin receives an upgrade request to HTTP2, that it never follows.


The curl output you post confuses me. Can you post the full output? The output you posted didn't show a redirect loop. But since you cut out content, maybe there was a redirect loop that I can't see.

Here's my full curl output. No redirect loop:

>Reqbin receives an upgrade request to HTTP2, that it never follows.

You mean Reqbin receives a response with an Upgrade: h2,h2c header? That's not exactly a request to upgrade. That's the server advertising that it supports those protocols for upgrading. The client is free to ignore them. Also, h2 is actually an invalid upgrade protocol, not listed in the standard:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-upgrade-tokens/http-up...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67583138/why-does-the-ht...

According to that SO post, Apache advertises Upgrade: h2, h2c in its responses, but if the client attempts to upgrade to h2, Apache ignores it. So I believe Reqbin is doing the correct thing in not upgrading to h2. As for upgrading to h2c, that also wouldn't be possible, because that header was sent in response to an https:// request, but h2c only makes sense when upgrading from an http:// request.


Oh man I forgot all about <frameset> and <frame> tags to create navigation. From the early days before we had dynamic sites or static site generators with templates, we had our browsers do our "templating" for us!

frameset was THE basis for building manual-style resources back in the day!

* nav header; search (if you could figure out how to make it work)

* Table of contents

* main content pane

fun times!


I love how the new Space Jam website is ALSO in the 90's style! https://www.spacejam.com/2021/

Nice! Never knew that. I wish more companies with popular sites did this. I'm sure it cost them about no money nor time to just shovel it off like this.

They moved everything under /1996 when the new movie came out, and while doing so they broke some pages.
