Hi Everyone,
The solution is simple and I am writing it down for everyone who will have the same problem in the future.
1. since it is using curl the best solution is to run the command and see watch the results. it will give a good idea about the problem.
2. make sure that you have 301 message and not 30X temporary messages for those who do redirect upon location or language.
3. in my case the problem was the ssl certificate was missing the intermediate.crt. so that new browser didn't had no problem with handing the certificate, curl is an "old" browser and had problem with verify the certificate. better using tools to verify the ssl certificate was installed correctly. each issuer has it's own site to test the certificate installation.
good luck to all the guys that will run intto that problem in the future. I hope my respond will help you get that stage.

Check if you are tracking root domain or sub-domain.
If you are tracking the root domain and stating you want to track all traffic at any subdomain, you do not want the www in the url.
For example on our site we have dev sites that are subdomains. We do not want them tracked. so we have ours set as www. ourcompany .netIf you want to track anything on the domain, take off the www and I think it will work for you.
Best,

I'm sure that one of the MOZ guys will be along to answer this soon, but in the meantime, do you need to be entering a complete URL with http:// ? Do you have other live campaigns that are working OK?
Sorry I can't be of more help, as I don't sub to the full packages.

Hi,

I ran the crawler, and it found a few errors on the site. I have fixed these errors. I don't want to run the crawler against the entire site again. I just want to run the test against a single page. How can I do that?0 -
MOZ flagging urls as longer than 75 characters when they aren't
As an example: https://www.abthermal.com/3m-70-70hdt-self-fusing-silicone-rubber-electrical-tape.html Moz has flagged this as URL too long... but guideline is that happens at 75 characters or more? I count 55..?? or does the 75 limit have to include the domain? Thanks, Adrian

Canonical url does not seem to be recognised by Moz
Hey guys, forgive me... brand new user of Moz. Moz is telling me I have duplicate url's - a lot of them. Investigating I see that it is classing http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd?tag=lake as a duplicate of http://creativedigital.co.nz/artprints/lake-tekapo-church-of-the-good-shepherd even though there is a canonical tag in head as follows I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice would really be appreciated 🙂 Mike

How do I edit my website URL in a Campaign?
The option to change the URL is grayed out. Is there a way to do this or do I have to create a whole new campaign?

MozBar URL Flag shows wrong country
My site has been up for about 6 months, and is visible on google (http://www.forforce.com.br/). Even when searching for my exact brand name "For Force Suplementos", using google brazil from Curitiba (the stores physical city) I show up on page 3, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. I just today started looking into SEO. And we haven't done anything to earn a penalty. (There's no links actually anywhere but our facebook page to us, which I know is a problem I need to work on). Anyway, I just signed up for a MozPro subscription, and installed the MozBar. Looking at the On-Page elements, next to the URL, I see a U.S. flag, and am wondering if that is part of my problem. The site is physically hosted in the U.S., so maybe that's where the flag comes from (Quality) hosting is too expensive in Brazil). Is this something I should be worried about? I also am using CloudFlare to help speed up the site, which I don't think has a Brazil POP. Thanks in advance for any advice! -Eric

Duplicate Pages...where are both URLs?
Just ran my Site Crawl Report...which was awesome! But It says there are over 50 Duplicate Content Pages, and the list of links only shows the PAGE that is supposedly "duplicate content"...but where is the other URL that these pages are duplicates of? Would be nice to be able to double-check if it is in fact duplicate and decide which to edit. Pls help! Thanks Moz!

Page appearing multiple times in Warnings report
In reviewing my Moz warnings report, one page is appearing multiple times because the title is longer than recommended. Is this a bug in Moz? The page is appearing with a number of different URLs, despite there being a rel="canonical" tag. The page's canonical URL is: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/ And in the warnings report I'm seeing variations like this: http://betablog.org/wishing-and-hoping-and-praying/?replytocom=26539 which are clearly links from the comments section.
