Extension talk:HTTP302Found

"Pushes a HTTP code 302 (Found) to the browser when there is a redirect instead of handling it internally. The end user will not notice any difference (other than the address to the page having an ?rd=Redirecting_page bit at the end)."

Huh? I must be a silly goat because I don't follow, exactly. Thank you for any clarification. Wikademia


 * So how MediaWiki redirects work is that it doesn't send a "Location" header to the browser, and it redirects itself, which is why you can go to ccTLD and it'll redirect you to Country code top-level domain even though the URL stays the same. With this extension, it uses HTTP code 302 (see List of HTTP status codes) so that the URL on the client's browser changes.


 * This is mostly used for search engine optimization. Hope that clears it up, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. --ianweller 22:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
