When a Friendly URL is created the redirection is temporal (302) when it should be permanent (301)

Note: please note that Liferay has renamed its Liferay Experience Could offerings to Liferay SaaS (formerly LXC) and Liferay PaaS (formerly LXC-SM).

Issue

• When a Friendly URL is created the redirection is temporal (302) when it should be permanent (301)

Environment

• Liferay SaaS with DXP 7.2

Resolution

• This is an expected behavior.
• This happens when a locale is present on the URL. (An /en/ for example) If the configuration changes the URL without the locale is valid and the redirection doesn't happen. That's why it's considered a temporal and not permanent.
• However, results show that the search engines can change the 302 for 301 over time when they detect that they aren't actually temporal. 

Additional Information

• Google: Change 302 to 301
