Actually here is the best reason why. The problem with netgod's site is that he installed mod_spelling. It turned out that the original reporter had an old package file so mod_spelling 'corrected' the file name to the new version and sent back a redirect! So if I did support redirects this case would leave to even more confusing problems, the MD5 sum on the file would fail beacuse it's the WRONG file Jason
