What

WebFetch is the tool Claude uses to download a web page. The part of it that handles redirects, where a site sends you on to another address, and HTTP errors, where a site answers with an error code, now refers to its values consistently. The previous build appeared to refer to values that were not defined in that part of the code.

Why

In practice this may make no visible difference. If the old version was broken, redirects and error pages from fetched sites may now be reported correctly.

The writer flagged doubtIt is not clear whether redirects and HTTP errors in WebFetch actually misbehaved before this change.
