Hi,
I am having trouble building the sitemap.
My site temporarily has many 301 redirects in place to redirect incoming traffic without trailing slashes in the URLs to a URL with a trailing slash.
e.g. visits to [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
get 301 to [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
The crawler is skipping over these redirects.
In the debug.log it looks like the crawler is not correctly handling the redirect address.
instead of giving the redirect URL as
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
it is duplicating the domain name in the URL e.g:
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]
Is this correct behaviour?
Is the crawler supposed to index the new location that the 301 points to?
I will pm my debug.log.
many thanks,
Oli.
