           Summary: History item and document.location change.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P4
         Component: History
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jedrzej.nowacki at nokia.com

Behavior of back / forward history changed between QtWebkit 2.0 and the trunk.

<html>
  <head>
    <script>
      document.location = "another url";
    </script>
  </head>
  <body></body>
</html>

I believe that page above should not create a history item in the B/F history, which is the current behavior. From user point of view there is no difference between document.location and http redirection.
