301 moved permanently on cron

Hi,

Problem

We had issues with cron not being properly executed after the push of global_redirect to our production environment. When calling cron.php with it's cron_key we were redirected to the frontpage with a 301 redirect.

In globalredirect_init() the following code was executed where $request_path has 'cron.php' has value and $prefix was empty.

if ($request_path != $prefix) {
    drupal_goto('', $options, 301);
}

Proposed resolution

We fixed this problem by adding a specific check from cron.php script :

if ($request_path == 'cron.php') {
  // No redirect should be done on cron execution.
  return;
}

right after the following statement :

  // Get the request path. We cannot use request_path() as it uses a completely trimmed path.
  // We need just left trimmed.
  $request_path = globalredirect_request_path();

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Seb
