Dead Google Code Urls

I didn't find this,, but there must be a lot of code that is relying on these soon to be dead links.

yeah googlecode shutdown a while ago. it's in read only for..... well until the server gets unplugged accidentally by the janitor i guess

@lucas1 the entirety of the script:
http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html5shiv/3.7/html5shiv.js
it's like 90% comments and variable names.

The world will live without html5 support for browsers shittier than ie9.
Nothing important will be lost.

@ben_lubar firefox 22

@ben_lubar Yes I know what html5shiv is, however things like bootstrap et al tend to use it.
EDIT: this is like one example of a popularly used google code repo to illustrate the point.
-
@accalia I think they are giving people 2 years to fork projects. TBH it is fair enough pre Github / Bitbucket / Gitlab project hosting was basically do it yourself or pay to host.
-
@lucas1 what I was pointing out was that the entire script is like 1 kilobyte when you minify it. So people could have just put that on their server instead of pulling it from version control on every page view.
-
@ben_lubar The reason they probably used that is that it that the script is probably already cached by the browser. They should be using the CDN link if they doing that.
-
@lucas1 I'm pretty sure /svn/trunk/* wouldn't have any caching applied to it.
-
@ben_lubar You would be surprised what old versions of IE did, the script wouldn't be downloaded by anything other than IE. But yes it is possible that these are shitty web devs. It is impossible to verify now as all that url is now a 404, so we can't see the headers.
-
@lucas1 Viewing https://html5shim.googlecode.com redirects you to https://code.google.com/hosting/moved?project=html5shim that tell you the new home is at https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv where you can find the latest version.

Nothing important will be lost.OK, but what if it had been something critical like LeftPad?
-
@ben_lubar Actually their readme.md also suggest you to host the file yourself.
And also since it's being distributed with Modernizr, people using framework such as Bootstrap will be very unlikely to be affected.
-
@cheong Bootstrap includes it as part of it grunt build the last time I checked and probably gets it from git / npm / bower or whatever the fuck they use these days. To be honest all it is a foreach loop that does create element so you can style section , article, picture article in IE8 and below.
@ben_lubar Minor correction while being a pedant. Those "comments" aren't comments, they are function / method docs.
/** * Returns the value of `html5.elements` as an array. * @private * @returns {Array} An array of shived element node names. */ function getElements() { var elements = html5.elements; return typeof elements == 'string' ? elements.split(' ') : elements; }
