View Full Version : Don't expect much traffic from live.com searchers

On reviewing my log file, when msnbot (the live search robot) visits sub pages on your site that have unicode in the URL, it double-encodes the unicode, and thus requests pages that don't actually exist and gets given a 404 error.

I've seen if happen on my Japanese sites, with both IDN and non-IDN domains.

If anyone has any freakin idea how to let them know they've screwed up majorly, please feel free to do so.
