What I'm saying is that most frameworks (that I have used) use 302 as
the default redirect code NOT 301.

If you use 301 then the browser will NOT go back to the page you want
to look at, it is PERMANTLY redirected to the new resource. And this
is what happens in Firefox when you do send back a 301. It will not
go back to the page you redirected from. And it is PERMANENT. FF
will not ask for the old page even after a restart of the browser.
My point is that this behavior may confuse people who use any other
framework and then use web.py. A 301 Use Case is (relatively) rare
versus a 302/303 which should be very common (ex: form processing).
So no magic just default to code 302 instead of 301.
