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.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn 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.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
