As designed Route filter bug?

[imthebest]

I have this route filter:

threads/ > topics/

So now everytime I want to access to threads/the-big-forum-list.26352 (by direct URL access) it gets automatically rewritten to topics/the-big-forum-list.26352 which is OK.

But I have this other route filter:

account/preferences > panel/settings

However people are still able to access directly to account/preferences and the URL doesn't get rewritten to panel/settings! This is happening with other route filters I have in place, too! It seems to only be rewriting forums/ and /threads URLs.

Is this the normal behavior?

Thanks,

Yes, both URLs will work - URL canonicalization only happens on "important" pages.

Okay then I believe that you should also do URL canonicalization on this additional route:

profile-posts/ > wall/

Especially considering the changes included in 1.4 which will give more attention to profile posts!
