Direct path redirects and multiple dashes

Hi there.

On DW version 8.3.1.17 I'm using Direct Paths (Management center > Web & HTTP > Direct paths) and I'm having some problems with redirection for some URLs.

It seems to be URLs with two or more dashes (-)

As an eksample

  • /about-company/term--and-term
  • /products/country---term-term.aspx

I've added them to Direct paths but when I enter the old path in the frontend, i just get 404.

Is there a trick to this or simply can't be done for these URLs?

Regards, Victor

Hi

It also seems to be a problem when using underscore.

When you search direct paths you cannot edit any of the search results.

Hi

It seems like it is the 'Replace spaces with dash (-)' option in 'Customized URLs' section in 'Management Center' that makes the urls with underscore fail.

Hi Thomas and thank you for your replies.

I think your conclusions are spot on.

Then the question is, is there something one can do or is it a bug in DW that needs to fixed.

Regards, Victor
