We run a program to pull in all URLs for a website, and it has pulled in some crazy URLs with extra https:/’s added on. We’ve checked this on 5 of our EE sites and this is occurring on every one of them.
Examples:
http://www.shorepinerentals.com/accommodations/property/the-refuge/https:/https:/https:/https:/https:
The issue with the bots gathering these as additional URLs is we then run into duplicate pages/duplicate content issues.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a fix?

It looks like some relative vs. absolute path issues. Not an EE issue, as far as I can tell.

Thank you for your reply!
It’s just very strange, because we only get this on our EE sites, and we are using absolute paths. I thought maybe it was something that needed to be changed in the system settings…
Again, thank you much!

No setting I can think of, no.
