Hello, say, when we are running our link checker programs and see HEAD http://en.wikipedia.org/ --> 301 Moved Permanently HEAD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page --> 200 OK HEAD http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/ --> 301 Moved Permanently HEAD http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page --> 200 OK HEAD http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/ --> 301 Moved Permanently HEAD http://radioscanningtw.jidanni.org/index.php?title=%E9%A6%96%E9%A0%81 --> 200 OK HEAD http://taizhongbus.jidanni.org/ --> 301 Moved Permanently HEAD http://taizhongbus.jidanni.org/index.php?title=%E9%A6%96%E9%A0%81 --> 200 OK HEAD http://transgender-taiwan.org/ --> 301 Moved Permanently HEAD http://transgender-taiwan.org/index.php?title=%E9%A6%96%E9%A0%81 --> 200 OK does that mean we should hardwire those extra long paths into our web pages instead of the less worrisome versions we are using now?
I mean when I see a 301, I update my webpages, but momma said stay out of alleys...
Unfortunately I don't think HTTP has a status code for "move permanently but this redirect will always be here". 301 is probably the best option out of what there is.
