Pinging updates to Bing no longer works #185

Closed scott1702 closed 7 months ago

scott1702 commented 2 years ago

Bing has deprecated the use of the ping URL for updates—https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/sitemap-ping-indexnow.html. They have since adopted a different approach using indexNow with API keys that is required for Bing to get live updates to sitemap changes https://www.bing.com/indexnow.

Hi,

This is now deprecated, as per https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/06/sitemaps-lastmod-ping - and it seemingly rolled over on the new year to be fully removed. This will effect both the v5 and v4 versions of SilverStripe, and a 2 and 3 version should preferably have an pr/update to remove the ping functionality to avoid errors/warnings here.
