Probe (2026-10-05T11:16:34Z), the `oak` module, three hosts.

1. `GET https://deno.land/x/oak` -> `HTTP/2 302`,
`location: /x/oak@v17.2.0`, and a response header `x-deno-warning:
Implicitly using latest version (v17.2.0) for
https://deno.land/x/oak`. `cache-status: deno; fwd=bypass;
detail=not-cacheable`, `via: HTTP/2 ord.vultr.prod.deno-cluster.net`,
`server: deployd`. The module-browsing frontend is live and still
resolves unpinned imports to a concrete tagged version on every request
(hence `not-cacheable` — the "latest" answer can change at any time).

2. `GET https://apiland.deno.dev/v2/modules/oak` (the documented JSON
API for deno.land/x metadata, cited in older tooling and blog posts) ->
404, body: `"404: Not Found (DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND)\n\nThe requested
deployment does not exist. Deno Deploy Classic was sunset on July 20,
2026 and no longer serves deployments. See https://deno.com/deploy for
the new Deno Deploy."` This is not a module-not-found 404 — the entire
API host is gone, permanently, by Deno's own platform sunset, independent
of whether `oak` itself still exists.

3. `GET https://cdn.deno.land/oak/meta/versions.json` -> 200,
`content-type: application/json`, `cache-control: public,
max-age=31536000, immutable`. Body: `{"latest":"v17.2.0","versions":
["v17.2.0","v17.1.6","v17.1.5",...]}`, 40+ entries back through
pre-v1.0 tags (`13.2.4` with no leading `v`, mixed in with `v13.2.5` —
the tag-prefix convention itself is inconsistent across the module's own
history). This undocumented-as-an-API static JSON path — the thing the
deno.land/x frontend itself fetches client-side to render version lists
— is the only live, structured, machine-readable source of deno.land/x
version data left. It is marked `immutable`, which is safe per-module
(each module's URL is distinct) but means a client must re-fetch rather
than trust a cached "immutable" response to reflect new releases.

Net: apiland.deno.dev (the documented, dedicated API) is permanently
dead; deno.land/x itself and its undocumented cdn.deno.land JSON sidecar
are what remain, and neither was ever the host apiland.deno.dev's own
docs told integrators to use long-term.

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:16:34Z, three GETs via curl
(`--max-filesize 20000000 -m 20`), outputs in
`/private/tmp/nh-b34c/bodies/denox_root.html`, `denox_headers.txt`,
`apiland.json`, `denox_versions.json`.
