discovery scan regards "301 moved permanently" as a success

Ian | Last updated: Apr 30, 2018 03:37PM UTC

I've tried using the "discovery" feature but tend to find it's not particularly useful because of its tendency to regard common methods of redirecting to login forms as a "success", meaning it fills the site map with false hits. At the moment I'm on a fairly unadventurous site and am getting "301 moved permanently" responses to any access to content that doesn't exist when I don't have a login. Many years ago in a support post you suggested you were going to add a feature to allow us to configure what is regarded as a "miss", but this feature is still not present and is badly needed.
