htdig: Question about redirection

[Zak McGregor]

Hi all

I've searched through the mailing lists for an answer to this 
question, but I found nothing yet. I have a script on my site that 
simply redirects to another page. Htdig gets the redirect command, 
but doesn't follow the redirection, even though it is on the same 
server. Is this a bug, or am I simply missing a configuration thing?

thanks

Well there are a few possibilities. The most obvious is that the target
page is excluded, either through config, or by the robots.txt file, or by
its META robots tag.

After that, I'd have to see output to see why you say it "gets the redirect
command, but doesn't follow the redirection."
