User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021227 Chimera/0.6+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021227 Chimera/0.6+ The above url is a link to download a file, I'm guessing it's a redirect of some sort. It works fine on Explorer 5.2. In Mozilla I just see "sending request to jenner.rz.tu-ilmenau.de" and nothing happens. I waited for 10 mins. In Chimera I see the same message and it churns the hard drive. I'm not quite sure what it's doing but it's not downloading. I closed the window after about 10 mins. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to url 2. 3. Actual Results: See "sending request to jenner.rz.tu-ilmenau.de" but nothing happens. Or in Chimera, hd churns Expected Results: Download a file.
This page is simple: <html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0 URL=Quinn.sit"></head></html> Well, I think this is weird! "Note. Some user agents support the use of META to refresh the current page after a specified number of seconds, with the option of replacing it by a different URI. Authors should not use this technique to forward users to different pages, as this makes the page inaccessible to some users. Instead, automatic page forwarding should be done using server-side redirects." (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-http-equiv)
-> docshell (where meta refresh is handled)

The meta refresh value is malformed and causing the page to fly around in circles. Duping against the similar bug 170021. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 170021 ***
