TYPO3 Core

I just received a mail from Google QM team, telling they will throw us out of the index due to a redirection violating their guidelines - PLEASE raise priority of this issue to CRITICAL or post a workaround!

The Mail from Google is SPAM!
German News about this: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/89591

In the meantime, I've got a couple more of these mails and already guessed that this is in fact SPAM. However, since the mail contained neither attachments nor any faked URLs, there was no hint that it did not come from Google.

Furthermore, I found some evidence in several webmaster howtos that Google indeed punishes the use of 302 redirects above 301 ones. So I worked around this issue using .htaccess in the meantime.

Sorry for the excitement!

Hi there,

can some of the persons interested in this bug please send a patch as an RFC to the core list?

Read http://news.typo3.org/news/article/core-development-mailinglist-now-open-for-community-involvement/ and the news for details.

cheers

The redirect for domain records is controlled in t3lib_page->getDomainStartPage().

I'll get a core patch together for this (all 1 line of it), but should 301 vs 302 be something that is configurable in each domain record? I think my vote would be yes.

I don't think this should be configurable - we just need to do The Right Thing (TM).

Attached a one line patch against trunk to fix this. I'll propose it on the core list tomorrow.

Yippee! It work. Thanks to Jeff. What is with the 50 Euros?
