📌 Minor updates and fixes applied
Sunday 20 December 2015
Minor updates and fixes applied We’ve made some minor updates to our spider for the online and windows version of our sitemap generator. Binary files Binary files such as Word Document, Adobe PDF, etc. previously just showed the HTTP server response such as “Ok”. We now simply show the filename of such files. Domain names We have relaxed validation on domain names so it is not essential to use punycode. You can therefore decide which domain name you want to use for your sitemap.

Friday 28 March 2014
Improved HTML spidering (Robots, Canonical, Rel) We now now parse a number of HTML elements to better understand your website and which files should be in your sitemap. Canonical urls We now detect the link rel=“canonical” tag. <link rel="canonical" href="http://xmlsitemapgenerator.org"/> Where we detect this tag and it points to another page we will not include the current page in the sitemap and will instead spider the url specified in href attribute of the tag.

Don’t forget that for this feature to work correctly it is important that we can understand your website encoding otherwise our spider won’t interpret it correctly and your sitemap will contain strange characters and symbols. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_charactersets.asp Improved HTTP 301 redirect and 302 Moved handling Not only do we now follow HTTP 301 and HTTP 302 automatically.
