Yeah, for all intents and purposes the original meaning of 302 is pretty much lost now. There was an excellent writeup of the issue by Andrew J. Flavell: http://ppewww.physics.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/post-redirect.html Unfortunately it’s 404 now. I found a link to a mirror on Google, but that too is 404. However, the Google cache still has a copy: http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache:www.notes.slim.summitmedia.co.uk/post-redirect/www/post-redirect.html I better file this away somewhere before that too gets lost… Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/> _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
