Summary	0000732: Shop start page always deliveres a 404-header if parameters are added for tracking
Description	You can easily reproduce that on oxid demo shop: Install Live Headers Plugin for firefox (or any other tool to track the http-headers). Then call start page of the shop: http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/ Look at the headers - they should be okay. Now do the same thing with the following URL: http://demoshop.oxid-esales.com/professional-edition/?bla=foo Now you will find, that the first response of the shop is a 404 Not Found header. This is extremly bad because: If shop owners use Google adwords combined with e. g. Econda Tracking they have to define landing pages for the several adword campaigns. Usually you put some parameters to the URL of the landing page to be able to track the traffic correctly. So if you define an adwords campaign which has the shop start page as its landing page you would normaly do something like this as landing page URL: http://www.myshop.de/?adword=google/mycampaign/mykeyword/ But this is NOT accepted by Google because Google claims that the landing page URL does not exist - because of the 404-header. In my opinion this has to be changed very quickly because otherwise shop-owners are not able to define adword campaigns for their start page.
