Re: Question Changing the URL (Roscoe)
Date: 1995, Dec 01
From: Daniel M LaLiberte <liberte>

Notice also that 'get' is replaced by 'thread.pl'.

What happens is that the thread script doesnt return the document itself but returns a redirect as a Location header line with the URL to fetch. Most browsers see that and automatically fetch the new URL, and that URL is what gets displayed to you.

We are thinking of changing this so that all the thread commands are done by the get command too. And then we could return the document *and* the new URL using the URI header line. But most browsers dont support this yet.

That's probably more than you wanted to know. You can read even more about redirects at:
