Redirects all 403 errors to Home

Hi,

When the "Redirects" is enabled, Route 66 redirects the matching links to the canonical links. However, it is also redirecting URLs with HTTP errors to the home.

I expect that "Redirects" respects the current HTTP error codes, instead of redirecting them. Please, confirm if this is a bug or expected behavior of the extension.

Case 1

https://my-domain.com/administrator/templates/isis/favicon.ico 403

When the "Redirects" is enabled, it redirects to: https://my-domain.com/administrator/templates/isis/favicon.ico 301 => https://my-domain.com

Case 2

https://my-domain.com/plugins/k2/mefgfork2/ajax.php?cid=34&id=&k2v=30 403

When the "Redirects" is enabled, it redirects to: https://my-domain.com/plugins/k2/mefgfork2/ajax.php?cid=34&id=&k2v=30 403 301 => https://editores.sisanjuan.gob.ar/?cid=34&k2v=30

Regards

We use Route 66 only for K2 (com_k2). So, I fixed it in this way:

plugins/system/route66/route66.php, line 102

// Canonical and current URI should match. If not redirect
if (!$isAmp && $this->params->get('redirect', 1) && $current != JUri::root() && urldecode($current) != urldecode($canonical)

&& $vars['option'] === 'com_k2'

)

So, in some way, the visits are reaching these lines and redirecting.

I've just checked. We can't grant access to this site.

By the way, all 403s are redirected to the router. The web server doesn't find a resource so it routes the visit following the default path. Better if Router 66 only processes the hits that has rules for and leaves the rest to the default Joomla router.
