If someone have enabled this feature in his browser drupal logs all hit as 404. I'm not sure if this is more something that core need to handle, but it gives admins a wrong picture that users may typed in their browser. URLs like these don't require redirect.

I've seen a list on my url redirection list that looks like this:

content/how-to-
content/how-to-fo
content/how-to-foo
content/how-to-fooo
content/how-to-fooooo
content/how-to-foooooo
content/how-to-foooooo-
content/how-to-foooooo-ba
content/how-to-foooooo-bar
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-f
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-fa
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-fac
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-factory
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-factory-
content/how-to-foooooo-bar-factory-s

hope you get it... we had the same discussion already in #1096478: Make Google Analytics stats more accurate by watching X-PURPOSE and X-MOZ headers → , but for GA it's not really a problem as this are all HEAD requests that does not load the full page.

But it is a real problem for path_redirect...
