Crawl Diagnostics Shows thousands of 302's from a single url. I'm confused
-
Hi guys I just ran my first campaign and the crawl diagnostics are showing some results I'm unfamiliar with..
In the warnings section it shows 2,838 redirects.. this is where I want to focus.
When I click here it shows 5 redirects per page. When I go to click on page 2, or next page, or any other page than page 1 for that matter... this is where things get confusing. Nothing shows.
Downloading the csv reveals that 2,834 of these are all showing:
URL: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
url: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
referrer: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
location_header: http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php
I guess I'm just looking for an explanation as to why it's showing so many to the same page and what possible actions can be taken on my part to correct it (if needed).
Thanks in advance

If these were in the warning section, then these are temporary redirects, correct? Can you provide a screen shot?

Thanks Derek. You are correct and I apologize for not being clearer. Here is a single row from the csv output below. I also included a screenshot of the entire row with the headers so you know what you're looking at..
http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE 302 text/html; charset=UTF-8 http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php 0 2012-09-06T13:03:37Z 0 0 0 0 http://www.mydomain.com/401/login.php

its difficult to tell without knowing how you set up these 302 redirects. This specific URL returns a 404 page and does not redirect to anything which may contribute to the False attribute.
Have you considered just doing a 301 redirect for these pages?
