 A link in the format of ovirt.org/Foo where "Foo" is "anything" does not
 work.

 For example:

 http://ovirt.org/get-ovirt

 The following should happen:

 1. Request is sent to the server holding the A record for 'ovirt.org',
 which is linode01.ovirt.org.
 1. httpd server on linode01 redirects everything to www.ovirt.org.
 1. www is on OpenShift, and the request is run through the .htaccess file
 rules.
 1. The .htaccess file rule for '/get-ovirt' is to redirect to 'Download'.

 Instead, a 404 error Page Not Found.

 Problem is, I cannot recreate this in every browser. For Firefox, it works
 fine. I happened to test in Chromium, which does not work. For 'links', I
 get the 404 error.

 This problem arose because the [[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] was still set to
 'http://ovirt.org/get-ovirt'. This is a vestigal link from the previous
 instance, when the download page was in the WordPress instance. A reviewer
 of the site noticed that the "Download" link went to a 404. I looked and
 saw it was doing a direct link to a URL instead of to the internal
 MediaWiki article [[Download]]. I fixed the navigation so the "Download"
 link is no longer broken for Chromium (I presume.)

 This is all I know so far, more research to come.
