The wc1 response body (HTML) may contain something like <a href="http://www.newlocation.org/">new location</a> You could make a test compairing the URI in the Location HTTP header and the URI in the HTML. Or quite often, Location HTTP header values only contain relative URIs (Location: foo.html), which is not compliant with the HTTP 1.1 specification. -- Johannes Koch - Competence Center BIKA Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT.LIFE) Schloss Birlinghoven, D-53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany Phone: +49-2241-142628 Fax: +49-2241-142065
