If you were to force Firefox to send HTTP/1.0 and not act on the 307 status code, the correct action would be for it to display whatever page content is in the response. This would normally be something like:
Temporary Redirect
The document has moved here. In the case of Webwise, there may be no content. This would result in an empty browser window. For HTTP/1.0, Webwise could just use a status code of 302 instead. |
A 307 redirect preserves the "Referer", but I don't think a 302 redirect does(?), So they couldn't use 302 as some sites, like erm, well the webwise opt-out site require referrer to function
.
But as Phorm checks the agent string and only supports modern browsers, I guess it doesn't matter.
