Oh nice one. Note the redirections here are: gnu.org -- perm --> www.gnu.org www.gnu.org/s -- temp --> www.gnu.org/software www......./ls -- temp --> www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/...#ls-invocation So to avoid the first permanent redirection I'll probably go with: http://www.gnu.org/s/coreutils/ls thanks, Pádraig.
