JR44677: CMVC 224742 - TO RESOLVE THE SSL ACCELERATOR NOT WORKING WITH SEO URL REDIRECTION FEATURE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If URL keyword is changed in SEO URLs with separation character
  as "_" and If old URL is used to access the page then it won't
  be redirected to the new SEO URL. Instead, it will go to
  infinite loop.
  
  For example, below is the old URL:
  https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage-meter--mailing-system-su
  pplies-14685--1_cables-hubs--power-supplies-14686--1/en/supplies
  
  The new URL is as follows:
  
  https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage-meter--mailing-system-su
  pplies-us_cables-hubs--power-supplies-us/en/supplies
  
  Note the "_" is used here as the separator.
  
  Similar problem will occur if the last keyword in the URL is
  changed:
  
  For example, below is the old URL:
  https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage/en/supplies-1063
  
  The new URL is as follows:
  
  https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage/en/supplies
  

Local fix

• Avoid using "_" as the separator in the URL keyword, or does not
   change the last keyword.
