[EP-tech] WG: Antwort: Linkcheck: HEAD method ends up in 404



Hi all,

I can see this happens with EPrints 3.3.12+ (and maybe earlier) but is 
not a problem with 3.4.2. Also the HEAD request works with /1234/ but 
not /id/eprint/1234/ on 3.3.12+.? If the trailing slash is missing you 
get redirected (302) to the version with a trailing slash but this then 
fails with /id/eprint/1234 on 3.3.12+ (but otherwise works).? I can take 
a look through the CRUD.pm files for 3.3.16 and 3.4.2 and see if I can 
spot what has been fixed.? I know for 3.4.2 I did some work to support 
PATCH requests but I am not aware of any recent changes/fixes for HEAD 
requests.

That said, for3.4 functionality was introduced to allow the default 
abstract/summary page URLs to be the /id/eprint/... version as Google 
Scholar said it would make it easier for them to discover and index 
these.? This is because they could tell from the URL that it was an 
EPrints repository, whereas the generic 
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhostname.example.org%2F1234%2F&data=01%7C01%7C%7C2619ddaf0c464aae947508d8391769a1%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=nzJtapsXSSWDzFSQeeMGOhjl7Pb7MzjbHZpAOyBc4fQ%3D&reserved=0 could be anything, so they would not 
know to priotize its analysis and indexing.? There is a good chance that 
whilst this work was being done either by chance this HEAD request issue 
was fixed or it was detected and fixed during adding this 
functionality.? I was not involved directly in this work, so cannot tell 
you exactly what happened, I am just going on the information I know.

Regards

David Newman
