[Exist-development] URLs and redirects on demo.exist-db.org

[Stefan M. <ste...@un...>]

I just used the googled for "exist-db function modules" (not in quotes)
and was directed to this URL:

http://demo.exist-db.org/functions/

While the page loads, most links appear to be broken in the menu (e.g.
eXide -> http://exist/eXide/)

when visiting

http://demo.exist-db.org/

I get redirected to -> http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/index.xml

and the links appear to be correct. That is, people who come from google
might get to a broken website. If possible, I'd suggest to redirect
people to the /exist/... prefixed URLs when people arrive at a path not
starting with /exist/... . The same behaviour is seen with urls like
http://demo.exist-db.org/facts.xml

I don't know if this is related to the recent update. I would not find
it problematic if google would point to the correct pages. For people
who don't know eXist yet, and thus know that the website works, this
might be strange.

cheers,
Stefan

Thank you Stefan for reporting the issue. I was already aware of the issue, it is in trunk as well, but I have no clue yet how to fix it. It was only introduced recently,.....

Thnx for monitoring this!

Cheers
