Write about redirect responses.
\end_layout
Many domains are either configured correctly, or perhaps did not by either
configuration or chance not respond during domain scanning.
While most non-failed domains produce 2xx responses, there is a high ratio
of 3xx redirect class responses.
With some 20% of random domains and around 50% or top sites redirecting
their visitors, it begs further research.
Many of them are 301, considered permanent, redirects; they indicate that
the information supposedly found at the domain is actually found somewhere
else.
The difference between http and http-www datasets seems to suggest that
redirects lead to the other (above 90%), or a secure variant; this thesis
has looked at redirects within the same domain and to HTTPS variations
