The GetSimple CMS allows invalid URLs because it only seems to interpret the first and last portions of the URL.
For example, in the following URL [http://gs1000.showme.zone/this/URL/is/invalid/article-029/] the bolded sections is invalid. The valid URL is [http://gs1000.showme.zone/article-029/].
I could do the same thing with a number of other GetSimpleCMS sites listed in [http://get-simple.info/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=9]
This can cause all kinds of weird errors when you are using relative URLs and it also messes up Google indexing metrics.
At the moment I am considering detecting this issue by comparing the Canonical URL with the actual URL and forcing a redirect 301 or a 404 error...
