    redir:your_url
    when we attempt visit this page there will occur an automatic redirect to the specified URL (and counter increase page_filecount).

    But I suggest to modify this piece of a code. And I would like to do it, because if you wish to make a redirect to an external URL, you will get an error because the kernel will try to convert it to an absolute URL automatically because of this:
    SED_ABSOLUTE_URL

    I suggest to remove it (constant SED_ABSOLUTE_URL) and to increase not only the counter page_filecount but also page_count. The first will allow to create an external redirect, and the second to keep the counter logically consistent.

    But here there can be a hidden problems. If you have a plugin like autovalidation, eyoop or similar + some groups of users who can use them and are not reliable enough, they will have an opportunity of adding pages with redirects to dangerous sites (or just as SEO trick).

    But the good reason to try solving this problem, without creating potential vulnerabilities for sites, would be an ability of making "link catalougue" sites easily without any special plugins.

    What do you think of it? Personally I am interested in a solution of this problem. As I already have some ideas how to make it. But I need general approval of this feature.]]>     Za, 06 Dec 2008 04:09:25 -0000
