Weird /index/index/index/index quirk

[kharri1073]

I have used an external xml sitemap generator for a site of mine. When the generator crawled the site, it created some weird links that work.

for instance...

http://aromaessentialsltd.com/news/auth ... ndex/index

I don't think its a bug in the software but i do think its a little weird for this to happen. Is this a .htaccess setting gone crazy? Is this normal? Why does it do this?

Hi!

Serendipity can take up all virtual links to allow custom permalinks. So if you call http://yourblog/serendipity/admin/admin/admin/admin that will also work.

Instead you should see why the crawler recurses like this? Can you check where it draws these nested links from? They shouldn't be in the HTML source, so I guess that the link parsing of the crawler is buggy.

Thats what i was leaning towards. The crawler is from xml-sitemaps.com, and I don't know how or why it does that. I have it on a few sites so ill see if i can ever come across the reason.

Thanks for the info.
