We are migrating to a Sharepoint solution and our urls are changing slightly.
Are most RSS readers able to follow redirect links without breaking the feed and making an update manually?
Most of the documentation I’m reading says that this will work for major RSS readers.
I have read in some places that a lot of RSS readers will treat a 301 as a temporary redirect and not update its stored url. Any truth to this?
Assuming you are using a 301 redirect, I would say yes, since any reader worth its salt is built on a compliant HTTP library which will honor the 301 status code and follow the redirect.
Of course, it’s not that hard to test with the reader of your choice.
