Step away form the computer…

newlocation must now be the absolute path on newhost.
If not we’ve been redirected to somewhere totally stupid
(oh yeah, no offsite linking, go to our fucking front page).
Say goodbye to the webserver in this case. In fact, we don’t
even say goodbye, but just drop the connection.

This is going to be the first in a series of funny source code comments I happen to stumble across.  First up is the Apache Jakarta project…

Someone’s not flushing the office toilet – eew:

    /**
     * A Writer based on a wrapped Writer but ignoring requests to
     * close() and flush() it.  (Someone must have wrapped the
     * toilet in my office similarly...)
     */

From the source of Apache Jakarta Project.
