[jira] Created: (TAPESTRY-2413) Request Path Optimizer causes problems with some spiders.

Request Path Optimizer causes problems with some spiders.
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAPESTRY-2413
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2413
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.11
            Reporter: Josh Canfield


Yahoo's Slurp spider and the Twiceler spider (Twiceler-0.9 http://www.cuill.com/twiceler/robot.html) both have trouble navigating links with the optimized urls.

It appears that they consider the last context portion of the context to be a folder, and not a file.
For example, after visiting 
http://www.thedailytube.com/tag/2397/solsbury-hill
they follow the link
../304/peter-gabriel
and request
/tag/2397/304/peter-gabriel

I haven't looked up the spec but I assume they are broken spiders. Regardless of the correctness of there behavior, I'd like my content to show up in yahoo search. The workaround is to transition from _request.toURI() to _request.toAbsoluteURI().

[jira] Updated: (TAPESTRY-2413) Request Path Optimizer causes problems with some spiders.

Posted by "Howard M. Lewis Ship (JIRA)" <de...@tapestry.apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2413?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Howard M. Lewis Ship updated TAPESTRY-2413:
-------------------------------------------

         Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
    Fix Version/s: 5.1

If this is important to you, turn off request path optimization (see the configuration docs).  

I may yet make this not a bug as well, since it's not a Tapestry bug.
