Error description
If URL keyword is changed in SEO URLs with separation character as "_" and If old URL is used to access the page then it won't be redirected to the new SEO URL. Instead, it will go to infinite loop. For example, below is the old URL: https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage-meter--mailing-system-su pplies-14685--1_cables-hubs--power-supplies-14686--1/en/supplies The new URL is as follows: https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage-meter--mailing-system-su pplies-us_cables-hubs--power-supplies-us/en/supplies Note the "_" is used here as the separator. Similar problem will occur if the last keyword in the URL is changed: For example, below is the old URL: https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage/en/supplies-1063 The new URL is as follows: https://hostname:port/MyAccount/postage/en/supplies
Local fix
Avoid using "_" as the separator in the URL keyword, or does not change the last keyword.
