Website Hosting Tutorials - Setting up a 301 Redirect
Drupal SEO is Easy | DevBee: Rule number 1: don't change your URLs: "If you do change your URLs, you can do some damage control by doing a 301 redirect from the old url to the new. Get a list of the old URLs from your 404 logs and then add a line for each in your .htaccess file like this: redirect 301 /oldURI http://yourdomain.com/new URI This at least redirects traffic and some existing link juice to the correct page. I just put together a little SEO tips list which you might find useful." & Module for 301 redirects from static pages? | groups.drupal.org & Path Redirect? | drupal.org: "Path Redirect is used for redirecting a URL from A to B. The intention/purpose of Global Redirect is not to send someone from A to B but to force Drupal to use an Alias, if one exists" & Pathauto 5.x-1.x to 5.x-2.x New Features and Upgrade Guide | groups.drupal.org: "New 'Update Action' Make Old Alias Redirect to new alias" & Paths | groups.drupal.org: "This group serves as a means to discuss paths in Drupal and specifically the Pathauto and URLify modules. The modules all have similar but different functionality and discussions frequently overlap the modules."

Clean up your SOAP-based Web services | InfoWorld - Web Services Testing Tools Review: "This is a complicated field from which to draw a favorite. If your testing involves more than just Web services, and your development is primarily Java, then tools such as LISA or SOAtest are worth considering, in that they'll let you drive two nails with one hammer. If, however, you are only interested in SOAP-based Web service testing, and your QA staff is relatively new to the technology, SOAPscope is the obvious choice. On the other hand, your choice may be based more on your philosophy of testing. Specifically, which is better: coding tests or building them visually (in other words, from menu and button selections within a GUI)? Tools such as SOAPSonar, LISA, and SOAPscope have chosen the latter to escape the former. But shielding the user from code necessarily places that user in a constrained environment. Those tools tacitly assume that their GUIs are flexible enough to meet all or most testing demands. I am not so sure. I favor the tools – QEngine and SOAtest – whose scripting capabilities are easily accessed. And of those two, SOAtest does the better overall job."
