Archive.org – Why HTTP 302 Error Occurs for URL

archive.org

I have an URL https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.FSPHYS/index.html which uses an HTTP 301 response to redirect to the URL https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.FSPHYS/. However, when I look at the saved URL in the Wayback Machine (archive.org), I get this:

archive.org claims that it got HTTP 302

So archive.org claims that it got HTTP 302 as a response. As far as I can tell, this is not true (should be 301). Is this a bug in the Wayback Machine or am I missing something?

It's a bug in the Wayback Machine, inserted in 2010.

It's now fixed in the current Wayback Machine, and also our next-gen Wayback.
