403 pages
scratch.mit.edu/about.html
scratch.mit.edu/quickstart.html
scratch.mit.edu/gettingstarted.html
scratch.mit.edu/portugues.html
scratch.mit.edu/educators.html
Anything ending with “html” causes a 403: https://scratch.mit.edu/literallyanythingheckicanevensignitlookmynameisdefnotyarrowhtml These are caused by what I assume to be a configuration error in Scratch's servers.
Heck, even https://scratch.mit.edu/users/html causes a 403!

Heck, even https://scratch.mit.edu/users/html causes a 403!I tried entering html as a username, expecting an error that says 403 when I enter it or create the account, but it said “Username taken. Try another?”

That's because the account *does* exist, it's just leaving off the trailing slash doesn't work for that specific account.Heck, even https://scratch.mit.edu/users/html causes a 403!I tried entering html as a username, expecting an error that says 403 when I enter it or create the account, but it said “Username taken. Try another?”
https://scratch.mit.edu/users/html/
(it's been deleted, so that's why it shows a 404)

Does anyone know what this one is? https://sortinghat.scratch.mit.edu/ah, im back, now ill be responding to this.
For me it just shows a blank page - but it clearly does exist as it doesn't just say “server not found” and actually returns something (or nothing in this case!).
EDIT: I also found this one: http://dbproxy.scratch.mit.edu/ which times out, but actually responds with an HTML timeout page eventually.
EDIT 2: And this one… https://projects-staging.scratch.mit.edu/ and this one: http://pootle.scratch.mit.edu/
sortinghat.scratch.mit.edu gives me a json download request while I am on an apple device.

the download is an empty json, so no need to link it.
(i gtg so uhh ill find out the rest tommorrow)

http://pootle.scratch.mit.edu/ says connection not private My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Safari 26.6, No Flash version detected (I am on iPad not Mac)If you click through all the warnings it just says “The server at pootle.scratch.mit.edu sent back an error: 503 Service Unavailable” and doesn't show anything useful.

It used to be the Scratch translation site back in the early 2.0 days. They switched to Transifex in 2014 I believe, making this subdomain pointless to keep.http://pootle.scratch.mit.edu/ says connection not private My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Safari 26.6, No Flash version detected (I am on iPad not Mac)If you click through all the warnings it just says “The server at pootle.scratch.mit.edu sent back an error: 503 Service Unavailable” and doesn't show anything useful.

https://scratch.mit.edu/services/upload - Shows a blank screenWhen reloaded, it no longer shows a blank screen… Instead, it comes up with a 404 error saying, “Whoops! You're creating too many projects in a short time.”, along with a project with small scratch cats being stamped on screen (This has probably been implemented to prevent project spamming with the old endpoint).

Wait… Found some obscure defunct links:
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://scratch.mit.edu/services*
This list contains some sort of download links:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170105212238*/http://scratch.mit.edu/services/download/12854276/
https://web.archive.org/web/20170105212208*/http://scratch.mit.edu/services/download/12985896/
https://web.archive.org/web/20170105212229*/http://scratch.mit.edu/services/download/13195254/
https://web.archive.org/web/20200408032743/http://scratch.mit.edu/services/download/958846
They download the sb file of the project link, only that 1.x sb. Trying to use those links now are defunct and lead to a 404. They are 1.x projects.
