I think the entire 4xx and 5xx family should return false. [1] I know the url is invalid, but if you wanna do syntax checking on urls, then you're in for a treat, especially when the url contains double-byte characters. As for 30[12], what happens when the refered document does not exist? Symlinks have a maximum number of links and return ELOOP. Does the same apply to 302 and what is the value of MAXSYMLINKS (sys/param.h) in that case? > -Sara -- Melvyn
