Hi, Jeannot,
Yes, the redirection bug. I thought you might have been talking about a new
feature. Perhaps you overlooked Maarten Koopmans' post last week. He found
what seems to be a workaround. I have been using for the last week, and so far
it appears to work fine. I have not successfully developed an insertion patch,
but I can send you the altered http protocol if you wish. Here is the link to
the written description, if you prefer:

Hope this helps.
