Url rewriting and 302 errors

[kenpachi]

Hi, my site uses url rewriting and I thought everything was fine, but I noticed that Google keeps showing 302 redirect errors in google webmaster tools for those urls. If I click on those urls they works fine, but Google thinks redirections are going on.

My site is developed using C# and Asp.net 2.0, and I am using the Intelligencia.UrlRewriter module for rewriting. I have read about some bug people had around a year or two ago, but I don't see how that would be the problem, my site is hosted on a IIS 7 server, and I have latest version of the rewrite module.

Any help is appreciated.

I had this same issue but not with the rewrite version and IIS version you have. But none the less Google said my Rewrite was producing 302 redirects.

I don't know if you coded your site like I did but I made a rewrite page that would take anything after the .com/ and find a related page based on words used if the actual page wasn't found.

The issue I had was Google would test for a valid 404 Page Not Found.
The site never responded with a 404 error because it would search for related content and display it everytime are return 200 Page Found status.

I changed the code to allow for 404 Page Not Found in my rewrite script and Google never reported another Redirect 302 error.

Again, I don't know if this is your case but test to make sure your 404 Page Not Found is coming up correctly before anything else.

Check the headers being sent by your site. Google should only indicate a 302 if you are sending a 302 status code. Which if your rewrite module was written correctly should never send.
