[TYPO3-english] realurl + appendMissingSlash + 404 notFound + 301 Moved permanently + SEO

[Krystian Szymukowicz]

hi

I'd like to ask you about the current behaviour of realurl / 
appendMissingSlash and 404 notFound.

Suppose you have default: 'appendMissingSlash' => 'ifNotFile,redirect'


HOW REALURL BEHAVES NOW:
1. Enter http://www.example.com/some-non-existing-page
2. Headers returned are "301 Moved permanently" and then there is 
redirection to http://www.example.com/some-non-existing-page/
3. Realurl figure out that this page do not exist and return 404 header.


IMO IT SHOULD BE:
1. Enter http://www.example.com/some-non-existing-page
3. Realurl figure out that this page do not exist and return 404 header.


So the better would be to add slash and do redirect ONLY when the page 
exists. What do you think?

I think that sending "301 Moved permanently" to never existed page is 
not good. Maybe it matter somehow for search engines?
