           Summary: When hitting 302 pages the originating page is saved to
                    history rather than the redirected page
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dave.verwer at shinydevelopment.com


Steps to reproduce.

1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org
2. Click on the Random Article link on the left hand side bar
3. Click it again...
4. and again...
5. click Back in Safari

The user expectation would be that the history would go back through the pages
that have been viewed, however the history obviously only contains the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random location which is even seen as a
duplicate and rather than seeing 3 different random pages (which would also be
unexpected behaviour) the history goes back to the original page
http://en.wikipedia.org.

Firefox handles this "correctly" where correctly means as an average user would
expect. Opera also handles this issue correctly.
