Hi people! I'm creating a new website using Web2py [ Version 2.0.0 (2012-06-10 21:17:42) dev ] on GAE in a domain where previously I had a WordPress blog!
This blog has some urls like these: http://domain.com/novo-modelo/hyundai-hb-20/ http://domain.com/carro-conceito/nanotata/testes/ In order to not lose the whole traffic to the old blog, it were transfered to another domain and I need to make http 301 redirects to all of his pages! I'm using the following approach: I catch the 404 erros and verify if the request_uri is one of the urls from the old blogs I need to redirect ( I have all urls taken from the sitemap.xml ). This works fine, except for urls like those before, that have hyphens in the first "arg" as in "novo-modelo" and "carro-conceito". I did that on routes.py: routes_onerror = [ (r'*/404', r'/init/httpcodes/cod404') ] And in the function cod404, I verify the URL and do the redirect if the URL is from the old blog! When the URL is http://domain.com/novo-modelo/hyundai-hb-20/ I got the error: "invalid request"... and it is not treated as 404! What can I do to allow web2py understand this URL as 404? I tryed map_hyphen = True but had no success! This are the some other informations on my router.py. default_router = dict( default_application = 'init', applications = 'ALL', default_controller = 'default', controllers = 'DEFAULT', default_function = 'index', functions = None, default_language = None, languages = None, root_static = ['favicon.ico', 'robots.txt'], domains = None, map_hyphen = False, acfe_match = r'\w+$', # legal app/ctlr/fcn/ext file_match = r'(\w+[-=./]?)+$', # legal file (path) name args_match = r'([\w@ -]+[=.]?)+$', # legal arg in args ) # This simple router set overrides only the default application name, # but provides full rewrite functionality. routers = dict( # base router BASE = dict( default_application = 'init', ), ) --
