"302 Found" is an http status code indicating "The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI. Since the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response is only cacheable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header field." [1] However, the content at the redirected URI is clearly not the requested content (try it even in MS Windows), this is an inappropriate code being issued by the server at comicgenesis.com.
