[MLB-WIRELESS] MW Wiki editing in Safari - 414 Request URI too large Error

[Tyson Clugg]

Not quite, META-REFRESH tags suck and the wiki doesn't use them.  :-P

Safari follows the HTTP 1.1 spec more closely than other browsers, not
allowing for lax implementation of the standards by website coders. 
The wiki sent relative URIs in HTTP redirects instead of absolute URIs
as specified by the HTTP standard.  This has been fixed and Michael
reports it now works OK.

Cheers,
Tyson.
