Hello, I was trying the global redirect module because I need to avoid duplicated content (SEO guys suggested that all node/123 should make a 301 redirect to /a-seo-friendly-url) but noticed it doesn't work for anonymous users.

I think the problem may be related to the drupal_get_path_alias function. I noticed in other modules I've written that the path aliases are not retrieved if using this function for anonymous users.

I've noticed this behavior on Drupal 5 and haven't tried on Drupal 6.

Am I missing something here? Is drupal_get_path_alias useful just for authenticated users?

Thanks!

No clue what the problem could be, but path aliases work fine for anonymous users.

Regular path aliases of course work but I meant the function drupal_get_path_alias. Perhaps I'm missing some permission? I tried adding 'administer url aliases' and 'create url aliases' for the anonymous role but it didn't help.

Any more ideas?

Doesn't sound right-- I would check the module's issue queue and if there's nothing there, post an issue.
