Sorry - this may just be me missing the point - but how does a 302
redirect effect your back button on the browser? In my experience, in
Mozilla and IE and other browsers, the 302 is automatically processed and
considered part of the same request as the initial request. So when I
click on a link on www.foo.com to www.bar.com which then 302s me to
www.bar.com/wibble, pressing back takes me back from www.bar.com/wibble to
www.foo.com in one step (which is the same as if the 302 had never
happened.)
Is there some problem I'm not aware of? Some browser that doesn't handle
it this way?
Of course, those meta-refresh things are another matter entirely...
Mark.
