I have to admit I hate it; can you please at least make it configurable? Why is it needed at all? It generates unnecessary redirects, clears my previous page in the browser by a useless placeholder, confuses non-interactive HTTP clients and I just can't see the real purpose. What's the gain? Thanks, -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis A lot of people have my books on their bookshelves. That's the problem, they need to read them. -- Don Knuth
