Safari Version 5.0.2 (5533.18.5) does not follow a 300 redirect for a page served from my localhost.

This may not be a bug; the HTTP/1.1 specification says about code 300
"If the server has a preferred choice of representation, it SHOULD include the specific URI for that representation in the Location field; user agents MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. This response is cacheable unless indicated otherwise."
Firefox follows the redirect, so maybe Safari should as well?

A response needs to be a redirect status as per https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#redirect-status in order for it to redirect.
