Matching of "Differential Revision" domain names is impossible to debug
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

An install hit an issue where a stray config file set the base URI to http://domain.com instead of https://domain.com. This took over 95 hours of work to debug.

  • We should ignore the protocol, port, etc., when making this comparison -- http and https are the same install.
  • Per T4767, this should be explicitly walked through in the UI. This failure mode is horrible and not remotely obvious.

This is probably worth folding into D10489 since I think it's only a few lines off the main path.

Support Impact Support cost for the in-the-wild instance of this was seriously more than an hour.
