Hi,

I have come up against a problem using ReDJ and I'm unsure how to solve it.

I have a site I rebuilt for a client. The old site was a static HTML site and the previous developer managed to create paths to pages and files that contained gaps in the URL. For example: www.sitename.com/gallery pages/stencil1_lg.htm. Note the gap in "gallery pages".

The old site had a great deal of images in a gallery that were created in this fashion (1 image = 1 HTML page) and Google Webmaster Tools is reporting all of these as 404 errors. The new site has an equivalent corresponding gallery so I want to create redirects. However I have discovered that the redirects fail when the "From URL" contains a gap such as in the example. If I remove the gap e.g. replace it with a caret, the redirect works but this is not good of course as the original URL had a gap.

How can I create functioning redirects when the original URL contains gaps in the string? Any help or advice would be appreciated. I am currently using the free version but am happy to upgrade to Pro if required.

Many thanks...

Hi,
the community version should be enough. But I need a real url to make some test. If you prefer, send me aprivate mail at info(at)sistemistica.it.

Luigi kindly resolved my problem for me via email but in case anyone else comes up against this problem, here's the solution:

To correctly parse URL strings that contain gaps, you need to insert "%20" in place of the gap. So, in the example I gave in my previous post, the correct string would be:
www.sitename.com/gallery%20pages/stencil1_lg.htm.

I can verify that this works.

Thanks so much for the terrific help Luigi. Great product, even better support. I'm off now to leave a nice review on the JED....

Luigi very kindly solved my problem for me via email but in case anyone else comes up against this issue, here is the solution.

To have ReDJ correctly parse a URL that contains a gap, you need to add "%20" to the string. So, in the example I gave in my previous post, the correct string should be:
www.sitename.com/gallery%20pages/stencil1_lg.htm

I have verified that this works.

Tanks for reporting here the solution.
I really appreciate it, recently I haven't so many time...

Enjoy ReDJ and thanks for review,
