Right. I am saying 307 is good enough.
I'm in agreement with Brian here until/unless I see a use case that
seems to merit putting in the effort here. Filling in the fourth
quadrant of a logical grid (and making redirects from foo.com to
foo.com/) doesn't seem like enough to me personally.
Well, the effort is done; the code is there, including test cases.
There's also a cost in not doing it (for instance, time spent explaining
to people why this status code is missing).
I'm also with Brian in not being vehemently opposed. But let's remember
how often little "simple" changes (especially somehow ones involving the
cache) wind up involving a lot more followup work than we initially
expect. So many other fish to fry...
That is true. We definitively need more test cases for the network stack.
For instance, I recently noticed that the Cache-Control header field
parser is, let's phrase it politely, very naive; so is WWW-Authenticate.
These problems may affect extensibility (introduction of new directives
or auth schemes), and might affect security (for instance, Firefox will
happily extract parameters from a quoted-string value in a new extension
parameter). See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=716346>.
