Description

mod_redirect sends an HTTP 301 status (Moved Permanently). Problem is this is a PERMANENT redirect, and browsers will cache this. So if you change your redirect in lighty's config, browser keeps going to the previous value.

mod_redirect should send a HTTP 302 status (307 would actually be better).

I think a 302 would serve as a good default, but ideally it would be configurable just like Apache:

My vote, just had to change the source to give out 302s.
