head problem

[gazgaz ####]

Hi, bonjour

Can you explain me why there's a difference between firebug head
control and unix lynx console command as:

lynx -head "http://edu.ca.edu/squelette-ahuntsic"
and the result 302!!!

because
with firebug
i get 200 with http://edu.ca.edu/squelette-ahuntsic

So i am not a dev but
someone of team devs lynks says links uses HHTP/1.0
what about firebug??

and WHO SAYS RIGHT HERE?? Qui dit vrai ici?
firebug or unix lynx command line ??

Salutations regards

They are both right.
Lynx returns 302 because this is what the server returns.
Firefox interprets 302 and reevaluates it into 200, which is where Firebug can handle it.

That's so not correct. Firefox sends two requests. One to http://edu.ca.edu/squelette-ahuntsic, returning 302. That page redirects to http://edu.ca.edu/squelette-ahuntsic?lang=fr, which returns 200. And Firebug shows both requests. I never tried Lynx, but I guess it doesn't have auto-redirection.
This is actually a double post. See the original thread.
