Can we redirect globe.torproject.org to atlas.torproject.org? Are their search syntaxes similar enough that we can redirect fingerprint searches from Globe to Atlas? (Are there any other systems that automatically generate Globe links that we'll have to update?)
We could probably do this without so much effort, yes. For fingerprints the redirect would be from e.g.:
https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/A10C4F666D27364036B562823E5830BC448E046... to https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/A10C4F666D27364036B562823E5830BC448E04...
For searches it would be:
https://globe.torproject.org/#/search/query=noether to https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/noether
However this means we either leave the Globe machine up and configure its Apache to do that, or we change the DNS for globe.torproject.org to point to the Atlas machine and tell Atlas' Apache instance to do that.
As far as I understand web technologies, the anchor is not sent to the HTTP server. So the rewriting can only be done via JavaScript and not through Apache.
If globe.torproject.org is kept as a separate virtual host, the rewriting code can be sent only to people visiting asking for globe.torproject.org. As this requires no change to Atlas' code, this solution feels cleaner to me.
