[ This bug is one of the recommendations in the W3C's "Common User Agent Problems" document, URL above. One bug has been filed on each recommendation, for deciding whether we do it and, if not, whether we should. ] 1.15 Remember traverse redirects When the browser traverses a redirect, it should remember both the original URI and the target URI for marking links as visited.

Is there a test case that shows we have incorrect behavior? Is this specific to HTTP or could it apply to other protocols?

Presumably it also applies to HTTPS; but I don't know of any other protocol which provides redirects. We don't necessarily have incorrect behaviour - "One bug has been filed on each recommendation, for deciding whether we do it and, if not, whether we should." If someone writes a quick test case and shows we do this right, we can resolve this bug. Gerv

this may actually be something for the docshell/docloader to solve. the docloader incepts redirect notifications from necko, and it could/should probably forward that information to global history somehow.

loadinfo carries this info now
