FW: [Koha-bugs] [Bug 816] New: /index.html uses deprecated meta-refresh
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=816
Summary: /index.html uses deprecated meta-refresh
The front page of default koha sites uses a meta-refresh (deprecated by the w3c) to redirect to the correct page. It should probably use a http "302 moved" instead.
I'd like to get suggetions from the list on this one. I agree with it--meta- refresh is not just deprecated, it was never in the spec to begin with, as far as I can tell. It has its uses, but I agree with the bug-poster that this isn't an appropriate one. But--do we have a viable alternative? To make some other kind of redirect would require changes to Apache's configuration. Can that be automated in a Koha install? I don't know the mechanics of it, so I'm asking for help. Any ideas? Thanks, Owen

Yes, it can be automated. The line would be "Redirect /koha/index.html /cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl" or similar. If this applies to 2.0 (and I think it does), please assign this bug to me and I will upgrade the installer. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing Please email about: BT alternative for line rental+DSL; Education on SMEs+EU FP6; office filing that works fast
