The web redirect to the github page is weirdly broken

I'm part of depfu.io and as part of our service that helps teams keeping their dependencies up to date, we link to changelogs of projects.

Our heuristics to find the github repos (coming from the metadata stored at rubygems.org) stumbled over your web server that gives very weird and inconclusive results: Here's a curl session with a few tries:

$ curl -i http://valuable.mustmodify.com/
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: max-age=900
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

curl -i http://valuable.mustmodify.com/

This looks like a misconfigured web server. For some reason the redirect generally works in the browser, but it would be nice if you could look into the cause of this.

(also, it would be super nice if you could configure the "source code" URL in rubygems, as this would make the automated lookup even simpler)

That is weirdly inconclusive. It reminds me of the worst software insult I ever heard, which was at NASA. Someone describe someone else's project as non-deterministic. Brutal, if high-brow. :) Anyway, non-deterministic is bad. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I'm pretty sure my documentation is terrible. But I'm not great at writing documentation. So any feedback you guys have about that would be appreciated.
