Why?

Do you think there's a problem with that setup?

I have done my best to double check and it seems to be perfectly fine.
Also, with that same setup, Bing has been able to crawl and index - for a while at least.

Finally, Google has zero complaints.

nfn

In my case, Bing removed all pages from the index, but a week ago new pages appeared in the results.

Check the "security & privacy" link in Bing webmaster. Bing removes the whole website from index if there is copyright complain.
Google just removes pages in question.

Good thinking.

(checked - all clear on my end )
