Description

Two days ago a Hacker News user [reported](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31249926) a problematic behavior for the website and indeed was behaving weird.

Today, out of curiosity I decided to test it via `curl` and can see unnecessary redirections that could be resolved to `https://www.boost.org/`.

Here is what I currently see via terminal:

```
