Testing 301 redirect returns me a SID?

Hello there, I'm sorry if I post something already answered, but I couldn't find an exact answer to my doubt, I did search a lot for it.

I'm currently hosting http://www.utnianos.com.ar/ forum, I've installed No Dup, Zero Dup, Advanced Rewrite, Dynamic Meta Tags and Optimal Titles mods.

I'm testing my website using http://www.internetofficer.com/seo-tool/redirect-check/, a redirect checker. I'm getting 301 redirect to -http://www.utnianos.com.ar/sid?................ when I try to access -http://www.utnianos.com.ar/

Someone said it's a problem with cookies not being supported by the client, but I think GoogleBot and other bots will have the same problem (getting redirected to that page), unless they support cookies or something like that.

I've tested -http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/ in the same tester, and it works like a charm without redirects, this is the behavior I'm searching for.

Any help will be appreciated, and thanks a lot for this amazing mods, I'm very happy with them and I'm trying to get the most out of them Smile

Thanks
Leandro.

Actually, this only means that the tools you used does not accept cookies, such redirecting does not happens to bots, but we did fix in the 0.4.2 zero duplicate (included in the premod and soon to be released separately) this behaviour, since it's still unappropriated : headers for phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net

I see, I'll wait for ZeroDup 0.4.2 then, but let me ask one more thing.

Both http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/ and http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/ behave the same way, no 301 with sid, not even for cookie-less clients. Is this because of the newest unreleased version of ZeroDup installed or the latest full Premod? Or is there something I'm not seeing?

Yes, that's how bad it is, phpBB SEO has become less optimized than our premod Laughing

But it's not the case for the premod or the demo server : sids is are always redirected when sid removal option is activated or if the client accepts cookies or if the sid does not match the attended one : http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/demo-en/?sid=24cead3e4098232cf48c7ad95b57d8b6
