Mysterious redirection in YAHOO:
When I try to open the Help Yahoo page - the one with the question mark
in
the top image -
http://www.yahoo.com/r/hw,
the Netscape 4.0 browser displays page http://howto.yahoo.com instead.
In order to understand how this is accomplished (i.e. how the browser
knows to go to this page), I analyzed the page source - no indication
(no Base tag).
I wrote a simple client program to see whether there are any funny
headers in the response (i.e. Location) - no such thing.
I also printed out the response status code (thinking maybe it is a
redirect)
- no, status code reads 200 OK.
Http gurus, please help! I know this is slightly offtopic (OK, maybe not
slightly), but I need to understand this in order to get my Servlet
project working.
Thanks a lot
Ilia
