Description: ------------ According to RFC2616: "Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s)." This is not the case with PEAR::HTTP. Certain user-agents (such as WAP browsers) do not follow redirects unless there is content returned by the GET request. Patch follows: --- HTTP.php.orig 2004-09-14 13:49:10.000000000 -0700 +++ HTTP.php 2004-09-14 13:52:18.000000000 -0700 @@ -226,6 +226,9 @@ header('Location: '.

Actual result: -------------- No body content is sent for GET requests.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
