As designed URL for Bing Bot is a 301

[MstrfBlng]

When clicking on online visitors -> bots > Bing Bot Xenforo opens this URL:

http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm

And it gets a 301

I think this is now the correct URL:

https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/which-crawlers-does-bing-use-8c184ec0

It seems the same for Yahoo / Slurp:

http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp

Give a 301 to:

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/search/SLN22600.html

In both of these cases, the listed URLs are actually present in the bots' user agent strings. I suspect they are intentionally 301ing them to give them easier support to change the target as necessary.

As such, we will leave these as is.

Ah, ok!
