Hi All,
If I go to http://en.wikipedia.org/Tokyo (note the missing "/wiki"), I get a 404 page that contains a 5 second-client side refresh tag like so: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo">
Is there any chance we could follow the great example of the PHP folks, and immediately give the user what they really want (e.g. http://php.net/date , which instantly shows the user the content of the http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php page) ?
In other words, use a server-side HTTP redirect/location header, rather than a client-side refresh?
This would be quicker for the user, friendlier, more forgiving, and just generally a nice touch.
All the best, Nick.
