Yahoo Search Error

301 redirect not working?

[rharri]

I keep seeing this in my server log for several files,

66.196.93.6 - - [30/Jan/2004:13:27:42 -0600] "GET /widgets.jsp;jsessionid=8qa4ty3jq1:NOSSL HTTP/1.0" 302 255 "-" "YahooSeeker/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5; [help.yahoo.com...]
66.196.93.6 - - [30/Jan/2004:13:28:12 -0600] "GET /widgets.jsp;jsessionid=8qa4ty3jq1 HTTP/1.0" 404 203 "-" "YahooSeeker/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5; [help.yahoo.com...]

where "widgets.jsp is a page I've changed to "widgets.html" and placed a 301 redirect in httpd.conf that works for everybody else. The redirect rule preceeds a rewrite rule that would send "widget.jsp" to the Tomcat server.

Can anyone tell me why yahooseeker gets a "302" and then a "404"? (And how I can correct this?)

Thanks,
rharri

Hi rharri
I forwarded this on to the crawler people at Yahoo Shopping.
