Description Owen Taylor 2011-07-21 18:35:49 UTC
Trying to approve a post on:

 https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/admindb/wm-spec-list

I'm getting:
 
A) A browser warning because the post link is http not https
B) A long hang followed by a '400' (Bad Request) error from the server

Don't know if they are connected

This is usually when there are way too many mails in the queue. I've setup a script a while ago to (forcefully) configure each mailing list to remove any queued items after IIRC 90 days. This avoids huge queues and the mailman problem.

I just cleaned wm-spec-list and didn't get a problem. It had 600 emails queued.

BTW: We should move every site to https, that would fix problem A.
