hi.  great thing you're doing with the free sitemap generator.  we are switching from a large static site to one i have coded in php and using mysql as a backend.  i have been using your tool to see how google will view our site, as the static one is rated quite highly right now and i don't want to lose that position (or lose my job).  if i run your free generator on the rough site, which isn't online yet ([ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]) the sitemap which is generated has a few titles, and then the rest say "400 Bad Request" but i'm not sure whats happening.

If i click the links, the pages have the correct titles.  any suggestions?
thanks very much

Hello,

you should "urlencode" your links in html source, for instance " " (space) character is not allowed in URLs, it should be replace with "%20".
This URL is not correct:
search.html?cat=item&type=item&value=Vermont Additions
this one is correct:
search.html?cat=item&type=item&value=Vermont%20Additions
