steinsgate Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Hi, I have found that Bing is adding a space in the url (sitemap.xml) that is not present in the XML uploaded. It reports 503 when crawling, because Prestashop returns a "not found" 404 error. When using friendly urls (SEO enabled) in Prestashop, you can type: http://www.anyshop.c...escription.html and it will show the product, in Firefox, if you type the same with an space in the end like "http://www.anyshop.com/category/001-product-description.html " Firefox will remove it and you will see the product as it has to. But if you type in the url-encoded way (%20, space) "http://www.anyshop.com/category/001-product-description.html%20" then the server will understand that space and it will redirect you to it will redirect to http://www.anyshop.c...controller=404. I assume this is an error caused by the .htaccess file that Prestashop generates. This is the sitemap url I use, as an example, and I do not add spaces <url> <loc>http://www.anyshop.com/shop/cars/754-product-description--1H2--1-6.html</loc> <lastmod>2013-01-01</lastmod> <changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>1.0</priority> </url> Is that a bug, or miss-configuration ?

BoKr Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well, last time I looked at a Python code is 10 years ago and I remember I understood nothing Ok, so may be, other users make use of the sitemap for Bing? I stumbled about an old tool called Gsitecrawler V1.23 but it looks a bit complicated and I do not know which settings are best. At least my aim is as with Google's sitemap that our self made product images are indexed though I am still in doubt whether that is really possible with a sitemap.
