Import Questions

Hi John,

I’d appreciate your help with some questions regarding importing redirects in CSV format:

1) In my case, there are four columns:

source,target,regex,code

a) Do I need to have column headers in my CSV file?
b) If so, what are the exact column names needed? Are the ones I have above correct?

2) If using Excel, should I save the file as:

a) CSV (Comma delimited)
or
b) CSV (UTF-8 Comma delimited)

3) Does the target URL need to be relative if the source is pointing to the internal domain (as opposed to an eternal domain) or can it be absolute (i.e. including protocol)?

4) If using regex for the purpose of adding /? to the end of URLs to make the trailing slash optional, should I also add the $ after /? or should I leave out the $ when using Redirection?

Thank you for your help and time — much appreciated!
