When adding a new URL to the web crawler the validation fails with this error: `When we fetched the web page at [my domain], it returned data that was not HTML.` If I `curl -I [my domain]` from the pod's shell I see that the response is an HTTP 302 with a Location header. If I `curl [my domain]` I get the following text: `You are being redirected.` And if I `curl [my domain]/[path]` I get valid HTML. I'm going to specify the entry point for this domain once its added but I can't get that far in the wizard. How can I add this site to the crawler? ---

Hi @lgoolsby ! I would recommend using the [new Enterprise Search 7.15 version](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/enterprise-search). This version adds some enhancements to the way the Web Crawler handles redirections for the domain pages. Could you please give it a go and share what your experience is? In case this is not possible, it would be great to have more details: - Your domain, in case it can be shared with us - The full cURL requests - responses for your domain Thanks! ---

Yep, that fixed the problem. Thanks! ---
