Item11372: Automatic redirect parameter in URL

If you type: http://foswiki.org/Download it automatically appends "?redirectedfrom=Download.WebHome" to the URL though this is not true!

It's a bit of a chain of events, but when you omit the Topic name in the URL, Foswiki defaults the topic to WebHome. Then WebHome loads, and the RedirectPlugin kicks in and process the %REDIRECT{"DownloadFoswiki"}% macro. So as far as the RedirectPlugin knows, it really was redirected from WebHome.

A better solution would be to allow Foswiki to set an alternate home topic per web.
