Custom Domain Redirection, As Well As A Referral Servers
Saturday, February 9, 2013
Edit
One of the advantages of custom domain publishing, too the domain root to published URL redirection, used to move transparent redirection of the URLs.
As Blogger spider web log owners croak to a greater extent than sophisticated amongst their blogs, too custom abode pages (aka "landing pages"), croak to a greater extent than popular, nosotros convey spider web log owners amongst concerns close abode page access too domain root redirection. We are likewise seeing concern amongst directly access to specific posts - amongst posts advertised, using the domain root URL.
In approximately cases, redirection entirely shows the reader the spider web log abode page, equally the root sentiment of the spider web log - fifty-fifty amongst a specific post service beingness linked inwards the advertised URL.
For my custom domain "nitecruzr.net", "blogging.nitecruzr.net" is the target of the domain root redirect.
This post service "Custom Domain Redirection, And "A" Referral Servers" has a URL of " ". This post service "Custom Domain Redirection, And "A" Referral Servers", should convey an alternate URL of " /search?q=".
Click on the iv links, inwards the paragraph forthwith above, too compare the results - if you lot don't all the same run across the seriousness here. Please. It's non a cosmetic detail.
This post service "Custom Domain Redirection, And "A" Referral Servers", when linked equally " /search?q=", instead redirects to "http://nitecruzr.net/".
This post service "Custom Domain Redirection, And "A" Referral Servers", when linked equally " /search?q=", instead redirects to "https://nitecruzr.net/".
Note that this spider web log does non all the same purpose "HTTPS Redirect", then if you lot click on a link to "Custom Domain Redirection, And "A" Referral Servers" you lot volition run across " ".
Here's a diagnosed representative of the problem.
Here's a an representative of this work - diagnosed using a previous post service blogging.nitecruzr.net/2016/08/delete-permanently-means-delete.html
A normal redirect - to "blogging.nitecruzr.net/2016/08/delete-permanently-means-delete.html"
A normal redirect - to the specific post, using HTTPS.
A broken redirect - to "blogging.nitecruzr.net"
A broken redirect - to the spider web log abode page, using HTTPS.
Unfortunately, approximately spider web log owners are observing that redirection of a specific root URL - mayhap a custom landing page, or a specific post service advertised using the root URL - appears to Pb entirely to the abode page of the published blog.
This is a work amongst domain / website design, inwards general - too amongst Blogger custom domain design, inwards particular.
The domain root to published URL (for most blogs, the "www" host) appears to purpose a version of frame forwarding, amongst approximately blogs beingness reported.
I never recommend using Frame Forwarding, inwards the custom domain DNS setup.
One of the disadvantages of frame forwarding is that redirects using frame forwarding driblet the post service URL.
We've been seeing this work reported, for several years.
The problem, rarely - exactly non never - reported, started several years ago. This was earlier HTTPS for BlogSpot - too fifty-fifty further earlier HTTPS for custom domains - was rolled out.
This was soon afterwards nosotros started observing other problems involved, inwards the deployment of HTTPS.
The root HTTPS number was reported inwards 2014. HTTPS for BlogSpot was rolled out inwards 2015.
I'm betting nosotros root saw reports of the post service URL beingness lost, inwards the ""http://xxxxxxx.whatever.com/whatever.html" -> ... -> "https://www.whatever.com"" was mayhap two years ago. During deployment of HTTPS.
My guess is that Blogger Engineers upgraded the domain root servers ("A" address) redirection code, to back upward HTTPS - too made a describe of piece of work organization determination to purpose frame forwarding.
From what I've seen of Blogger Engineering inwards full general - too custom domain pattern inwards special - I am convinced that if they decided that frame forwarding is necessary, it's necessary. Until they tin right the problem, that is. My advice to every domain possessor to not purpose registrar supplied frame forwarding inwards the domain DNS, notwithstanding.
I tin entirely promise that nosotros volition run across this work corrected, this decade. Remain optimistic - too study the problem, when it tin move identified.
It appears that approximately of the #Blogger custom domain "A" address holler servers are using "Frame Forwarding", instead of "Referral", to redirect the domain root to the published URL. Frame forwarding strips away the post service address part of the URL - leaving entirely the domain root.
Some spider web log owners purpose the domain root to advertise their spider web log posts - too are seeing entirely the spider web log abode page, instead of the private posts, when linking to the posts.
