The guix homepage[1] links to other pages[2][3] that claim
"Redirecting

me using
emacs-w3m and firefox-esr v60.
The links aren't broken, but implemented in a very… special way:
~ λ curl
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Features.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Page has moved! — GNU Guix</title>
<noscript><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=../en/html_node/Features.html"></noscript>
</head>
<body onload="window.location =
'../en/html_node/Features.html';">
[…]
I.e. inject arbitrary code into the user's browser and if it
catches us, fall back to http-equiv hackery. Not good!
The fix is to send out real (HTTP 307/302) redirections, but the
problem might be that gnu.org won't let us.
Kind regards,

This is also the case from the guix 'help' page[4] link to the
system
manual[5]. Other links[6][7] on that page do work.
