[Rd] R-Forge http link redirection setup busted

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

(Sorry for posting here but the top-level r-forge page does not make it all
that clear where to contact its admins.)

When an old-style 'http' URL at r-forge is resolved / redirected to 'https',
it is corrupted and the redirect breaks.  That required a package re-upload
for me a few days ago (as the CRAN url checker is unhappy about a borked URL)
and you can see it live too e.g. via

  https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel

and going to 'rcpp-devel archives' where the hover URL is (note 'http')

  http://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/

which when followed 'naively' drops the / between .org and pipermail and
gets a 404

  https://lists.r-forge.r-project.orgpipermail/rcpp-devel/

Reinjecting the missing / helps as

  https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/pipermail/rcpp-devel/

works fine.  This is likely a typo / error in the redirection setup of the
web server.

I would be very grateful if someone could pass this on to whoever looks after
r-forge these days.

Best,  Dirk
