I have a django project, its a satchmo store. I have noticed that when the flatpages middleware is in my settings.py 404s seem to be handled incorrectly. i.e. if a page really does not exist the server first sends a 302 response, then a 404. When google crawls it only sees the 302 so it thinks that something is there even tho nothing is there. Because of this combined with the fact that the structure of the site recently significantly changed google has a lot of broken links and none of them get fixed because the initial 302 makes google think something is there. I think this happens because the flatpages middleware intercepts 404s to see if there is a flatpage, but it seems incorrect. If I remove the flatpages middleware 404 function correctly. Has anyone else noticed this or does anyone know of a workaround? I need flatpages, but I need 404s to behave correctly.
