Redirect Video

If a user navigates, for instance, to a Hudson configuration location and saves the link and logs out and then pastes in that link the "old style" login screen is presented.

If a user pastes in a job location they get a 404.

In both cases they should get a login screen and then get redirected (if they have authority) to the proper location.

Also note that the newer login panel should probably be displayed in both cases.

A video of both cases (viewable in Safari) is attached.

This ticket is based on a conversation with Winston during the bi-weekly community call.

It would also be nice if a user is given a URL they are not authorized for they get a message "not authorized" rather than a 404 which is also what happens now.

This should happen with the "Remember Me" option also.

These should actually get a 401, Unauthorized. Use of 404 is all over Hudson, so should be "interesting" to fix.
