Google 302 Exploit Knocks Sites Out

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-hurts-me dept.

clsc writes "The exploit: Redirect via 302 to another page of your choice, then watch as the URL of your redirect script replaces the URL of that carefully selected page in Google's search results. Once this happens, feel free to redirect any visitor that is not Googlebot to any other page of your choice. Also applies to other search engines as well (not Yahoo! though)."

    "We must keep the Internet safe for children and families," announced Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) today, with the introduction of the Keeping The Internet Safe for Children and Families by Outlawing 302 Redirects (KISCFO302) legislation to the floor of the Senate. "This administration has turned a blind eye to 302 redirects. We will not stand by and allow webmasters to simply use 302 redirects whenever they want, in the name of 'efficiency' or 'practicality'. Our children are our most precious resource."

    ...from time to time. It helps to balance out all of the humor impaired moderators like the one who modded me "Off Topic" above. Come on humpy... admit it... it WAS a funny post.

    Parent shows blatant prejudice

    When will the world start to respect the rights of geronto-lacto-zoo-pedophiles?
