[pmwiki-users] OT: Permanent redirects

[Sandy]

That's a relief!

One of the online references implied that the agents (browsers, robots, 
the entire DNS system) would look once at "A is permanently redirected 
to B" and then whenever anyone, including themselves, see a link for A 
they go to B, without ever rechecking A.

What does a temporary redirect do?

It also means there's something else going on, because 
www.websites.onebit.ca won't even give me a pmwiki error message; I get 
Server Not Found. I'll look at it again tomorrow.

Thanks!

Sandy
