GWT fetch showing redirect to XMLPRC.PHP only on mobile?

  • i fetched a page that i was updating today only to see that response came back as redirected so i had a look at where it was redirecting it said > https://quickmove.com.au/xmlprc.php

    Never seen that before when i was fetching, the weird thing it only gave the redirect response when i was fetching from mobile . desktop seemed fine.

    I did a google search on xmlprc.php and it started showing alot of attack & hacking results, so immediately tried to find a solution and found 2

    1. install a plugin > disable xmlprc > i did that i installed > Disable XML-RPC Pingback
    2. Block access via httacces to xmlprc i did that i used the code below

    # Block WordPress xmlrpc.php requests
    <Files xmlrpc.php>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </Files>

    So after that i did a fetch on GWT and it came back as redirected again only on mobile, but when i had a look it said it was being redirected to the actual url but ending with /

    So now i am confused, and not 100% sure if i was being attacked or not, if i solved the problem , or if i have another issue please help me
