The specification writers did more to implement HTTP than every single
browser vendor still in business.  It's not our fault that some folks
are too lazy to read a specification that clearly defined the redirect
method since 1995 (when Henrik convinced an entire WG that we should
define the codes as implemented in CERN/W3C libwww).  None of your
implementations predate the specification and everyone participating
in the process agreed to the status code definitions.  It's not our
fault that you have no spine and won't report errors to users.
It's not our fault that you prefer to act like lemmings instead of
standing up for your own businesses.
