302 redirect issue

http://www.highdots.com/forums/lastp...ad2188411.html

is (302) redirected to

http://www.highdots.com/forums/showt...51#post6568251

(please note the session ID appended to the URL)

This URL is correctly 301 redirected to :

http://www.highdots.com/forums/visua...ml#post6568251

I have the following line in my .htaccess

PHP Code:

RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$    showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L] 


What can I do to remove the session id? (btw, this isn't something related to vbSEO, is it?)

Hi,

it seems like there is no sessiond ids in the urls you posted.
So, the redirections chain looks working correctly.

PHP Code:

[url]http://www.highdots.com/forums/showthread.php?[/url]
s=
8188139d799353b51618b5fc92582ecb
&p=6568251#post6568251 


Just remove the line breaks and you'll get the full URL.

vbulletin (vbSEO?) automatically removed the session id.

Hi,

I may be missing the point, but when I enter the first URL from your post (http://www.highdots.com/forums/lastp...d2188411.html), it is redirected to the URL with no session id in it. Here is the log:
