https://www-dev.mythtv.org/wiki/ redirects to 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Wiki/ which is unexpected.
https://wiki-dev.mythtv.org/ gives a 504 Gateway Time-out or 403 
Forbidden error.
https://code-dev.mythtv.org/ redirects to 
https://code-dev.mythtv.org/trac/ as expected.
However, https://code-dev.mythtv.org/trac/ gives mostly 404 Not Found or 
sometimes 403 Forbidden
https://code-dev.mythtv.org/doxygen/ gives 403 Forbidden ( Request 
forbidden by administrative rules. )

www-dev.mythtv.org seems to work.  Although, 
https://www-dev.mythtv.org/docs/ doesn't redirect to 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Index or wherever the wiki on 
the *-dev.mythtv.org sites should be.  Sometimes I was getting a 504 
Gateway Time-out error.

I did get https://forum-dev.mythtv.org/ to load once, but I'm not sure 
the country flags loaded and now I get 403 Forbidden or 504 Gateway 
Time-out.

I think I may have exceeded your rate limit for some of the 403 errors?

Regards,

Scott
