Hi Ian,
have you thought of putting a 301 redirect at the old location for a
couple of weeks?
We did that when we renamed ours and it works well - most aggregators
seem to handle the 301 correctly and permanently update with the new
location...

I'm currently wasting a lot of bandwidth due to your HYS RSS feeds
having no useful caching headers. IIRC, the last modified
header always
reports the current time, there are no etags, and there aren't even any
Content-length headers! I believe this is the same for your news

you have to put in a search term e.g.

They don't show the same for me. Which is odd.
I've done a tracert
always 'default', and you can just refer
to the index pages as '/' of course.
That's the main URL structure. There are quite a few variants. I'm
afraid I wouldn't recommend making too many inferences based the
structure I've described above.

This can cause feed readers to duplicate the item.
Please would someone pass this on to the relevant people..
My apologies if this has already been discussed.

But the BBC is a corporation, and not a company? It has no need to
make profits, for example.
Gordo
BBC Worldwide Ltd is a part of the BBC which needs to make profits. The
profits go back into the BBC corporation to help pay for all the things
the corporation wants to do.
and managed a separate
operation iirc (though that may now be changing).
It's separate webservers and a separate ops team, but there has always
been some shared infrastructure.
I'll see if I can get Linux stats for you.

£45 million a year is spent on BBC Radio 3. It seems a poor use of
this spending to not allow the classical music to be podcasted, I was shocked
when the Trust showed a certain myopia on this front. It's not like any of
this music has copyright issues, for a
