Hello,

Been using httpfox for last two years.
Thank You! its a great tool.

The other day my development team put in a new 301.
I tested the 301 redirect in httpfox and found that while the redirect
is in place, there is no response header information for the redirect.

Does anyone know why the redirect response header information would be
completely blank?
Thanks!

Hi,

As 301 is a permanent redirect it could be served from the browser
cache for subsequent requests and therefore does not go through the
network and have a response header.
HttpFox should display a "Type" of "Redirect (cached)" though. An
example of that could be found with this URL: http://disney.com/
