Bug#509576: libwebkit: Response code 301 not handled properly

[Frank Lanitz]

Package: libwebkit-1.0-1
Version: 1.0.2~pre.svn37878-1
Severity: important
File: libwebkit


I was compiling midori against current version of webkit from
experimental and I recognized that there are some issues with handling
of 301 and 302 responses of webserver. It appears that the redirect is
not recognized and the browser is trying to acces the original URL
again and again.

Inside logfile of webserver it looks like this:

[...]
xx.xx.xx.xx www.example.org - [23/Dec/2008:12:31:52 +0000] "GET /index.php HTTP/1.1" 301 0 "http://frank.uvena.de/index.php" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-de) AppleWebKit/525.1+ (KHTML, like Gecko, Safari/525.1+) midori"

Inside browser it's showing loading but no changes are appearing.
