naked file and image urls no longer download the file (causing SEO problems)

[djay]

Describe the bug
Previous versions of plone /myimage.jpg would result in the image being viewed
Volto no longer works this way.

The major consequence seems to be search crawlers. The sitemap includes these naked urls. They get indexed and often counted as soft 404s or indexed as pages you really don't want visitors to find.

the robots.txt rules also make it very hard to protect these pages from indexing. the standard rules will preventing indexing /view pages for example, which are the same view

To Reproduce

add image. view the url

Expected behavior

I do think the old plone behaviour is better. but maybe there was a reason this was changed?

Please describe the needed solution. Which URL is causing the problem and what image should be shown there instead of a 404 error?

[djay]

@Programmer-Dost I didn't say there was a 404.

Plone classic will display /myimage.png as the raw image
Volto will render /myimage.png as a page which is the same as /myimage.png/view.

The consequences are bad for SEO, esp because the /myimage.png is whats listed in the sitemap.

the solution is for volto to do the same behaviour as plone classic. This applies to files also
