I don't see any problems if I look at your page, the head scection code is ok and also the reponse header (200 ok) is ok.

Personal I don't really on such tools on the internet. Try for example HTTRACK to retrieve the page much better error tracking. This is what I get when I retrieve the page through HTtrack:

Code:

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Page has moved</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=index0001.html?option=com_virtuemart%26Itemid=119%26index_php?option=com_virtuemart%26page=shop.product_details%26category_id=37%26product_id=index.php%26flypage=shop.flypage%26vmcchk=1">
<A HREF="index0001.html?option=com_virtuemart%26Itemid=119%26index_php?option=com_virtuemart%26page=shop.product_details%26category_id=37%26product_id=index.php%26flypage=shop.flypage%26vmcchk=1"><B>Click here...</B></A>
</BODY>

Problem lies within virtualmart which is redirecting the page 2 times to another URL..... That is hard to control... Also the Tag Refresh is not advisable for SEO purposes (could be seen as cloaking).

This should be solved within VirtuaMart....

I don't know if this work, since VirtueMart is for some case redirecting the URL's (also the no SEF urls). Have you check the VirtueMart forum for this?

Must think this over....

Hi
I have looked but cannot find anything other than other people suffering the same. Have you had time to think?
Maybe you can solve it? That would make my day.

Darren,

Yes, I had a brain wave today. Problem could be solved by using CURL. On most hosting environments this is installed as default package within PHP.

Please check if you PHP environment supports CURL. You can check this by the Joomla administration environment:

- system -> system info -> TAB php info, search if CURL is listed within your PHP installation.

Currently I'am integration this within the release to either choose CURL or the default PHP methode for retrieving URL's.

CURL has options to follow URL redirects, so I'm curious if this is a solution for you. Please contact me by email to check this out.

Regards,

Richard
