Finally I could reproduce the problem. But it seems there is somethin 
g
wrong with WWWOFFLE. Without WWWOFFLE I could retrieve the page as it
should be. But with WWWOFFLE I couldn't retrieve the page with any
browser (emacs-w3m, w3m, and Firefox).

redirection. We'll try to find and fix it.

For Japanese developers:
