I have 3 machines that I support with broken browsers that don't follow

ignore meta tag redirects.

If they ignore redirects that contain content, then following the HTTP spec guidance would exacerbate the problem, not solve it. The guidance was to always include some content on redirect responses, which I have never done. Hmmm...seems to be some uncertainty about this :(


I'm going to try including content from now on just to be well behaved, but if I too see problems, I'll have to rethink that. At least browsers aren't half as bad as in the past :)
