# Wrong status code on Nginx server

 * I installed the plugin on WP 3.5 B3 on an Nginx server and created 1 redirect
   to return a 301 response. Looking at that in Firebug, the URL is in fact redirected
   but Firebug only shows a 200 response.
 * By comparison, the Redirection plugin in most but not all instances shows a 301
   status on the old URL and a 200 status on the new one, which seems to be the 
   more correct behavior.
 * Thoughts?

 * Thanks for the follow up. Yes, I think it is. I don’t recall whether I tested
   1.5 or 1.6, since 1.6 came out right around my comment. But testing 1.6 now on
   this URL running WP 3.6 alpha…
 * [http://beta.wpperform.com/sample-page/](http://beta.wpperform.com/sample-page/)
 * shows a 200 status in Firebug, even though it is redirected with SRM set to a
   301. Curiously, this URL:
 * [http://beta.wpperform.com/sample/](http://beta.wpperform.com/sample/)
 * shows a 301 status. Both redirect to the same place, but only the 1st URL is 
   set up in SRM, and no other re-write plugins are active. In postmeta, the 1st
   URL does have _redirect_rule_status_code set to 301.
 * On same server but different WP install running WP 3.5 and [Redirection](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/),
   a 301 status is returned.
 * Hope that helps. If you want more testing, let me know.
