sitemap generator - An error occured
« on: July 31, 2008, 06:45:39 AM »
Hi there,

I've trying to generate a sitemap for a secure (only) site:
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

I've tried doing a 'Header View' via the tools section of this site, and they keep coming back with 302 (Redirect's), which is obviously bad.

But when I check the http headers from my browser (using firefox's webmaster plugin) it shows the headers as 200 (OK).

Further, looking at the logs on the web server, I see the same thing:
Code: [Select]
202.*.*.* myguardian.com.au - [30/Jul/2008:22:25:47 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 9923 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1"
85.92.84.232 myguardian.com.au - [30/Jul/2008:22:26:17 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 302 - "http://www.myguardian.com.au/" "Mozilla/5.0 (XML Sitemaps Generator 1.0)"

What's interesting is that XMl Sitemaps uses a HTTP 1.0 client, while firefox is HTTP 1.1.

Does anyone know if there is a web server setting that might be causing non 1.1 HTTP clients to be redirected? Or is there something else going on here which I've failed to pickup on.

Thanks!

Hello,

sitemap generator supports http/1.1 protocol, but crawling of https pages is not currently supported.
With standalone sitemap generator you can crawl https sites if your server supports Curl/openSSL.
