(So they're basically only useful when you want to delegate the responsibility for future redirects to the new URL.) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9130422/how-long-do-browsers-cache-http-301s > --- index.html 2024-05-14 09:33:55.366151542 -0400 > +++ /dev/null 2024-05-14 09:16:42.181936154 -0400 > @@ -1,2 +0,0 @@ > -<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; > - url=https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config";> > > (beware of long lines) > > Dmitry, can you commit this, please?
