Re: [SOLVED] prevent indexing of urls with ?

Another way to discourage search engines from indexing such content is with robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /?*

unfortunately, header response in my browser isn’t correct. Can you explain to me why? Thanks.

Hi Patrick, try

<txp:header name value="503" />
<txp:header name="Status" value="503 Service Temporarily Unavailable" />
<txp:header name="Retry-After" value="3600" />

Another possibility is nameless headers:

<txp:header name="" value="Retry-After: 3600" />

Thanks. Simpler! But, unfortunately, it seems the header response isn’t good (no changes observed into the browser headers viewer)…

Yep! Maybe the simplest and efficient way (I didn’t think of it) Winner 🤘
