| 1 | | Summary, why should browser caching be allowed to be potentially involved with a redirect when it should be up to the status code of the redirect to determine the permanence/behavior of the redirect? This just makes it so browser cache doesn't get in the way (be it a caching plugin, custom headers set by the site/server, etc.) and does so in a way that doesn't put it on plugin & other developers to account for this when it should be harmless (301 redirects should still be seen as such, little-to-no overhead, etc.) & only helpful (can help simplify code found elsewhere, prevent issues that may come up in certain circumstances, etc.) to have WordPress take care of it natively. |
