Changing subject to reflect the real issue. This bug is not limited to Safari.

This is apparently the what happens when you access http://wikipedia.org/wiki/not_a_page as well. Maybe we could just take the redirect off of www.wikipedia.org and wikipedia.org.

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/ works for me - directs me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

I'm still seeing this issue:

1. using Safari/Mac 6.0.1 (8536.26.14), set User Agent to "Safari iOS 5.1 — iPhone"
2. paste www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is into the URL bar and try to visit it
3. get redirected to http://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is with this error: "Safari can't open the page "http://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is" because Safari can't find the server "www.m.wikipedia.org"

The problem is that your redirect isn't adding a locale by default.

For mobile user agents, www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is

redirects to www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is (which doesn't work)

instead of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is (which does work).

As a workaround we'll hard-code en. in our app until this is fixed.

Simple command to reproduce it:
wget -U "Safari iOS 4.3.3/iPhone" http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is

I've been able to reproduce this with an Android device as well as iOS devices.

This is now fixed. https://www.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is redirects to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.is
