From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m17) Gecko/20000720 BuildID: 20000072008 I am writing a php script which checks for a cookie. If the cookie is not present, it redirects the user to a login page. that page takes login and password and then sends them back to the index page. This page checks the info against a database, updates the users cookie, and either redirects to the index page again (so the the script can access the newly stored cookies) or redirects to the login page again. This is not a coding error. the page works correctly in netscape 4.5. I beleive the error happens when the script redirects to itself. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to http://sigboards.sourceforge.net/sigboards/login.html 2.put in a valid username (if you email me i will give you one, but i can't post it here for public veiwing 3.the browser will produce a page that reads: Redirection error: infinite loop detected Actual Results: error page is displayed Expected Results: proccess my index.php3 as usual

necko.

dupe of http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40080?

hmmm... doesn't this behaviour ever die? or is it stuck in infinite redirection? :) ->ruslan

Once the page with "Redirection error: infinite loop detected" is displayed the browser stops trying to get the page. So no, the browser does not go into an infinite loop. it just gives me the page telling me that it found one

Geez. I though i fixed it. Lemme take a look.

Yeah. Email me the user name - ruslan@netscape.com

Gagan - fix is at hand. Can you review/check this in?

This is not my job but... maybe the patch should be checked in? Or if it has already been, shouldn't this bug be closed? Fabian.

(Is this issue still open?) This bug also manifests itself when you redirect a POST to a GET on the same URL.

pulling in ruslan's necko bugs ->darin

What is the status of this bug? Visit http://www.emeline.com/pacman/index.shtml without accepting cookies. You get redirected around forever but a warning message never pops up. Is this a result of the fix of this bug?

I get the infinite redirect error message when clicking on http://www.quicken.com/investments/charts/?symbol=WCOM However, if you type the URL into the location bar and hit enter, the error doesn't show up. Result of this bug or a new one?

Hmmm... if you click on it in my comment it does work. To get the infinite redirect message, you have to go to http://qs.cnnfn.cnn.com/tq/stockquote?symbols=WCOM and click on the "charts" link to the right (second down) of the table with the stock quote in it.

The link on the cnnfn page looks like this: <tr><td><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"><a CLASS=flashlink href="http://www.quicken.com/investments/charts/?symbol=WCOM">charts</a></font></td></tr> Don't know what the heck a "flashlink" is but I assume that's causing the problem???

Oops... cc self. Sorry about the spam.
