<br>
While diagnosing an issue this evening with <a href="http://cdn.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">cdn.kde.org</a>, I noticed<br>
that we are still getting an extremely large number of requests for<br>
the legacy OCS/GHNS providers.xml endpoint, which is supposed to only<br>
exist for compatibility with older applications.<br>
<br>
Looking on LXR i've found that a substantial number of our<br>
applications are still using the old url in their most recent releases<br>
(see <a href="https://lxr.kde.org/search?_filestring=&_string=%2Focs%2Fproviders.xml" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lxr.kde.org/search?_filestring=&_string=%2Focs%2Fproviders.xml</a>)<br>
<br>
All new code should be using <a href="http://autoconfig.kde.org" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">autoconfig.kde.org</a> now, and all old code<br>
should be transitioning to using the new url.<br>
<br>
The legacy url is significantly more resource intensive for our<br>
servers to support and our ability to scale this endpoint is<br>
substantially more limited when compared with the new endpoint so it<br>
is important that this is moved over (to the extent Enterprise/Long<br>
term LTS distributions should be encouraged to patch this)<br>
<br>
Additionally, I believe there to be a multiple request bug somewhere<br>
as this endpoint is being hit approximately 3-4 times in the same<br>
second for each client we see. Based on the corresponding hit to<br>
<a href="http://autoconfig.kde.org/discover/featured-5.9.json" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">autoconfig.kde.org/discover/featured-5.9.json</a> which happens at the<br>
same time it is likely the application showing this fault the most is<br>
Discover.<br>
<br>
If we could please get the above all fixed up that would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Ben<br>
