I'm not sure how younger folks would feel seeing this...perhaps that it's ugly, less useful, sparse. And they'd be a bit right.

But for me this was a hit of pure nostalgia, flipping item to item. Almost like looking through an old photo album of memories you'd forgotten years back. Thanks Neal for putting it together.

Slightly fun fact - the original Space Jam site stayed intact until 2021!

They actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance.

They managed to break https://www.spacejam.com/ though. It redirects to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ which has a bad cert and then goes into a redirect loop.

So broken after just 4 years

Hmm, I didn't get a redirect https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/

I got the loop in both desktop Chrome and Firefox, as well as Android Chrome, Brave and Firefox (though these timed out after a few loops, unlike the desktop).

Were you maybe on Safari/iOS?

I visited https://www.spacejam.com/ with Chrome on Windows, Firefox on Windows, and Chrome on Android. It didn't redirect for any of them.

The loop most definitely exists. It's rather odd you're not seeing it. Everything I can use to talk to the server gets the 301/302 redirects.

Using yet another machine and curl:

    curl -vvv --insecure https://spacejam.com
     < HTTP/2 301 
     < date: Fri, 16 May 2025 10:45:08 GMT

Your request to https://spacejam.com is redirected to https://www.spacejam.com/ .

Your request to http://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net is redirected to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ .

You never tried making a request to https://www.spacejam.com/ .

Go to https://reqbin.com/ and enter https://spacejam.com . It gives 1 redirect (to https://www.spacejam.com/ ) then HTML.

I think you missed which servers are connected at the end of which request, there.

Reqbin receives an upgrade request to HTTP2, that it never follows.
