@strepanier03 Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

I'm not able to reproduce this.

When I click the link for the article, it loads successfully and not as the .HTML version.

Looking at the redirect file, it looks like we added a redirect and fixed this already.

Closing out.

Just retested and it looks like it's still happening.
