           Summary: [Regression] WebkitGTK 1.11.x - temporary redirect
                    location is saved
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: uzytkownik2 at gmail.com


When HTTP 307 code is returned as in http://dynamic.xkcd.com/random/comic/ the location is saved and each subsequent request goes to the location it was redirected to:

This is against recommendation of RFC 2616: "Since the redirection MAY be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests."(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#page-65) and it breaks some websites (including xkcd).

Full header reply (as captured from Firefox):
