So I was looking at SD Console Shrek the Third Runs and came across this run (https://www.speedrun.com/stt/run/mk2p705m) it was a WR so I clicked on it to watch it. There was no video so I clicked on their username to see if I could find their Twitch/YouTube. It leads me to a 404 page (
). So I look up the user on speedrun.com and click on there name. Same thing happened. So, what's going on?
The problem is in how the site handles and read URLs. A url with the form of ...speedrun.com/user/something will transfer to the user page. But since the url in question ends with ".jpeg", the site thinks you want to retrieve a jpeg file which doesn't exist, and give you an error 404. The file-type check has priority over the user check. Interesting bug.
It will happen for any user with the suffix ".jpeg", "jpg", ".png" and the such (it turns out there are quite the number of those).
Edit: I found the user ID in the API. Apparently, they have no Twitch or YouTube or any other social links.
