I’ve been trying to implement redirects using the _redirects file today but they don’t seem to be working.
I did have a couple of 410’s in that worked fine but today I added a larger number of 301’s to cover some issues with malformed URL’s
The latest version of the site I’m working on is https://5ecaccd9e50d5c0006a6e5b1--suganthan.netlify.app/ and the contents of my redirects file are below - I’ve also tried doing this using netify.toml too

hi there! can you first confirm that all of your redirects are being processed?
Hi @perry
Yeah, all my redirect rules are processing fine. I’ve changed the redirect list from the initial ticket now but you can see them validating here.
The deploy for this screenshot is https://5ecec1a9040c320007d3887c--suganthan.netlify.app/ and the updated redirects are listed at the bottom of this post. Weirdly when checking these 301 redirects, only one of them returns a 301 and that is
https://5ecec1a9040c320007d3887c--suganthan.netlify.app/nb/nb/ekspertise/Innholdsmarkedsførings-tjenester/
The 410’s work fine too
The _redirects file in full

For anyone else that comes here and has this same issue.
I managed to get this working by adding the status code with an exclamation at the end like so.
