This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In the Options of NetBeans, tab General, there is down Usage Statistics. And there is blue link to the website - Learn more. It has wrong url - http://www.netbeans.org/about/usage-tracking.html, which should redirect to http://netbeans.org/about/usage-tracking.html, but it wont. PS: This is occuring only if you are not logged it in the website bugzilla. I tried all known browsers, deleted cookies (to not be logged in) and then after clicking on Learn more it open browser and failed to load http://www.netbeans.org/about/usage-tracking.html with error: site is not accessible. Also the same issue is on the website www.netbeans.org, when I click on Home.
Reassigning for further evaluation.

Hello, I have just tried to reproduce, but it really works for me. Tested in FF, Chrome after clearing cookies, cache etc... Jirko, it would help if we could review all netbeans.org links in the IDE and remove 'www.' from there. This subdomain is not there any more and there is redirection there set up to root domain netbeans.org instead. But obviously this is not working properly in all the cases. honza
Hello, I restarted my PC, launched NetBeans, go to Help - About. There is link www.netbeans.org, click on it. Then it openned my default browser (FF), and it did the same, as I was reporting.

PS: I tried it also in my office, and also on my home PC and laptop. Everywhere the same issue.
This problem is still reproducible. Maybe as Honza said, it would help if we could review all netbeans.org links in the IDE and remove 'www.' from there. This subdomain is not there any more and there is redirection there set up to root domain netbeans.org instead. But obviously this is not working properly in all the cases.

Its not a problem with web pages, its problem with the link in NB. The link is invalid - http://www.netbeans.org/about/usage-tracking.html Try it in a browser.
So I tried other links in NB, also in the About - link to main page. It looks like all links are like "http://www.netbeans.org/__________" But none of them are working. Also in the browser, when entered manually, its not working. The truth is, "www" shouldnt be there. But the second, and more important think is, then there should be https, not http. So all links should be like "https://netbeans.org/__________", and this is working well.
