Error 502s using direct links or the search form #84

Hi all,

I'm currently getting "502 Bad Gateways" attempting to look up resources on CiteSeerX. It seems to be somewhat intermittent, but mostly not working. In the act of troubleshooting, I tried both Firefox and a Chrome-based browser, in Incognito / Private Browsing mode, with or without "Enhanced Tracking Protection," my adblocker, and various security settings enabled. I think it's a site problem.

To the casual visitor, the "loading" animation just pulses forever with no results. But some clues arise if you pop open the dev console in the browser:

Screenshot of one of the Error 502s in the Chromium dev console, in Incognito mode (to ensure no extensions are interfering)

For example: this direct link https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.46.8740 (via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping), or use of the search form on the homepage with search terms from the same paper both result in Error 502s from https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/api/getSummary?paper_id=10.1.1.46.8740, https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/api/search, or https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/api/aggregate.

I get that it's after close-of-business in the Eastern US, on a Friday, but I figured you'd like to know, being a widely-depended upon resource and all.

Cheers and good luck!

bib: Replace citeseer{x} URLs
c9aa8b1 
Lots of URLs at citeseer and citeseerx.ist.psu.edu have stopped
working at least since December 2023.

There is an open issue titled "Error 502s using direct links or
the search form" at SeerLabs/CiteSeerX#84,
which has got no response for more than 8 month.

As there is no sign of the issue resolved soon, replace those URLs
with direct links or DOIs.

For a USENIX paper who has a DOI, provide a URL under www.usenix.org
as a notes as well.
