New Revision: 44828

Modified:
   wwwsearch/mechanize/trunk/mechanize/_useragent.py
Log:
Change default mechanize.UserAgent (hence mechanize.Browser) Refresh behaviour:
 * Don't follow Refreshes > 30 seconds
 * honor_time is now False by default

This is a backwards-incompatible change.  The old default behaviour was confusing and rarely useful.

You can get behaviour the same as the old defaults like so:

browser.set_handle_refresh(True, max_time=None, honor_time=True)
