[TYPO3-english] Google-sitemap.xml and realurl-( redirect?)

[Rupali Gupta]

Thx Dmitry,

so you mean that this www.xyz.com/google-sitemap/ is the sitemap which will
ping ?

but, my client doesn't want to submit his sitemap file for google, according
to him it should be done by itself with ping if any sitemap.xml page exists.
