I have a www to non-www. 301 redirect at my site.

I discovered the command line tool "curl" and tested it. When I enter the URL with www, i get the following output in my console:

Code: Select all: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 18:03:21 GMT Server: Apache Location: http://example.com/ Content-Length: 225 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>301 Moved Permanently</title> </head><body> <h1>Moved Permanently</h1> <p>The document has moved <a href="http://example.com/">here</a>.</p> </body></html>

What is this HTML about? I did not create it.
Are there user agents, which display this page?

What is your mod_rewrite?
Does it affect the redirect for your browser?
Does it change if your set an ErrorDocument

Code: Select all: ErrorDocument 301 /something

Code: Select all: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

But I don't think it has something to do with my code -- I bet this happens everywhere?

Something similar with google.com, too (when I enter google.com, without www)

hm78@pc:~$ curl http://google.com

<HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<TITLE>301 Moved</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H1>301 Moved</H1>
The document has moved
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/">here</A>.
</BODY></HTML>

Nope. Everything works fine. I discovered it, when I entered "curl http://example.com" into my console.

Then it's normal. It's there for user agents that do not automatically redirect when sent a redirect HTTP status code (like curl), I doubt there are any browsers that show it by default.

I see.

Do you know, if you can manipulate/change this "intermediate" page?

Is it depending on the server? Because my variant is different to Googles variant (so Google does not use Apache?).

Try

Code: Select all: ErrorDocument 301 /something

Is it depending on the server?

That would be the logical conclusion.

Because my variant is different to Googles variant (so Google does not use Apache?).

They have lots of different servers (software) including Google Web Server.
