Anubis check stuck?
Users are experiencing delays when accessing GCC websites, possibly due to issues with the Anubis bot check.
Users are reporting that they are stuck when trying to access GCC websites like gitweb and the wiki, indicating a potential problem with the Anubis bot check system. The issue appears to have started after an Anubis upgrade, and developers are seeking more details to investigate the exact URLs and the nature of the “stuck” behavior.

Reports that accessing GCC websites like gitweb and the wiki results in a stuck state, taking a long time to load.
“When I am trying to access websites using Anubis check for bots, including wiki, gitweb, etc, it seems to me stuck there and taking forever.”
- reviewer
Asks for more specific URLs and details about what "stuck" means to aid in investigation.
“Could you give a bit more detail on the exact URL you are trying to access (gitweb and the wiki use different anubis setups, one uses the meta-refresh challenge, the other a javascript based one). And what exactly "stuck" means?”
- contributor
Provides specific URLs for gitweb and the wiki, noting that gitweb is "calculating forever" and the wiki pages get stuck.
“For gitweb, it is simple https://gcc.gnu.org/cgit/gcc/ For wiki, I am trying to access no matter which wiki page, it always stucked, like https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/A_guide_to_testcase_reduction or https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cauldron2024”
