    Description

      Discovered while testing MDL-41398:

      When site is in maintenance mode all users are still able to log in. Guests or logged in users are able to see any pages except /index.php that don't call "require_login()", for example /course/index.php, calendar, frontpage resources (together with files), etc.

      Other pages display the maintenance message together with debugging message about missing $PAGE->set_url().

      Reproduced on all stable versions
