Hi, I checked out the latest Nutch trunk to get the fix for Issues 273 (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-273) and 322 (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-322) and it looks like if http.redirect.max is 0, then the redirected url is inserted with the same status as the original url of CrawlDatum.STATUS_FETCH_REDIR_PERM (Fetcher.java line 201) which is converted to CrawlDatum.STATUS_DB_REDIR_PERM. This prevents the redirected url from being selected by the generator in the next round (Generator.java lines 140-142). My initial seed url was a RSS feed where all the items were being redirected. I tried to do a crawl with depth 3 but at the last depth the Generator was not able to select any urls, printed the message "0 records selected for fetching, exiting ..." and the crawl ended with a NullPointerException as the fetcher was trying to fetch an empty segment. I was wondering if any one else had seen this behaviour and has been able to find a way to fix it.
