Hello,

I have a site with pathauto and global redirect enabled, so requests to node/12345 are redirected to some nice urls and duplicate content is avoided.

However, boost also creates caches for cache/normal/www.example.com/node/12345, so that eventually visitors are not redirected anymore.

Adding node/* to the exclusion path, also excludes the nodes with the pretty url. As far as I can see, the node/12345 caches are not created by the Boost crawler.

Any ideas how to keep Boost from caching urls with global redirects?

Title: Pathauto and Global Redirect problems » Allow for non alias URLs to not be cached
Category: bug » feature

One more module to add into the mix
http://drupal.org/project/path_redirect
Should do what your looking to do - 1 Path for 1 node. Be sure to clear the boost cache after enabling so the new redirects will work.

In the mean time I've changed this into a feature request; so you can disable boost from caching a url if that url is in the url alias table.

Pseudocode

Inside boost_is_cacheable()
SELECT count(*) FROM url_alias WHERE src = $path; if > 0 and "this setting is enabled" then don't cache this page since an alias exists for it.

This needs testing... not sure if it will work in its current form; my gut says no.

Thanks, I am testing your patch right now and will give feedback. I made some adjustments elsewhere, so I'll have to revert them first.

In case somebody else is testing it, do not forget to add round brackets in the SQL-part.
