Several checks use the metadig python library isResolvable() function to check if a URL points to a resource that is available, and so will score a check using this function as 'failed' if the resource has been moved and the requested URL returns an HTTP 301 or 302 status code.
The behaviour of the following checks will change when the python library is updated to follow the 'moved' URL provided in the 301, 302 response headers.
