What's the purpose for the redirection to the homepage if a link unknown is submitted into the URL? To be honest, it seems like a burden when you're doing the real challenge.

I too think this is a terrible feature.

Oh, woah.
Is this new?
The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. Seems like they could fix it easily though. |

It sounds like it was supposed to be a 'feature'.

--Sorry if this becomes a double post, search picks up my other post under _elmiguel_ but doesn't show up in the forum thread. So I am reposting under this account, will edit if needed.--
Bumping this thread, been digging around the new urllib module ofr python 3.x and it seems that redirects will ONLY happen if the Location header is properly formed.
This means that when writing programs/scblockedripts in python, you will not be able to be redirected to the new uri.
the current location header now is set to:
Location: ../../../index.php\r\n
According to RFC2616:
For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the
server's preferred URI for automatic redirection to the resource. The
field value consists of a single absolute URI.
Location = "Location" ":" absoluteURI
An example is:
Location: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/People.html
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt
I believe this redirect issue can be corrected by adjusting the output of the location header to be absolute and not relative.
