Reporter, do you mean bug 153888 ? That has been reopened.

Is there a particular URL that is problematic for you?

Got this in email: "Looks like it had something to do with blocked cookies. An example URL is: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,6003-617585,00.html I was seeing the Redirection error message before I allowed that site to set a cookie. Grrrrr. Not your fault, but annoying/confusing." Ric, you should be seeing the following error message: "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked." Is this the message you are seeing? If so, I'm not sure there's too much to work on here. Mozilla can't necessarily know why it's in a redirection loop, and the error message itself is not a problem, just the symptom.

I'm also getting the 'redirection limit...' error message, at http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/30/opinion/30SUN1.html. Galeon and Konqueror load the page without error. To the best of my knowledge, I don't have any cookies blocked ('Enable all cookies' is checked). I sent a message using a website feedback link at nytimes.com, hoping that if the problem is on their end, they'll fix it.

Using the 'cookie manager', I deleted all of my nytimes.com cookies and now I no longer get the error message.

dwitte: could this be a duplicate of that cookie parser bug?

the original bug was reported on 1.3, not sure what to make of that. given the rewrite, results on a current trunk would be much more useful - reporter: are you able to test a current trunk build? Steve: can you specify the following? a) what build you tested b) your cookie preferences c) your cookie javascript preferences in addition - if you tested on a recent trunk build, then please download tomorrow's build and test that. there are a couple of fixes in there for some bugs that may be giving you these problems. thanks!

WFM - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040412 The UK Times link in the url does not work and the NY Times link does not produce a redirection limit error message.

The URl from comment #12 is a server problem, it's a real redirect loop (also in IE).
