116875 - Redirection limit exceeded on New York Times web site

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 114709

(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

Description

When I clicked on this link with Mozilla 0.9.7, I kept getting the message
"Redirection limit exceeded. Loading aborted". Clicking again didn't resolve
anything, however shift-clicking (and cancelling the save) followed by clicking
works.

With Mozilla 0.9.5, Mozilla would sometimes randomly get stuck in an infinite
loop between two URLs on the New York Times website (and a few others, but this
is the most noticeable one). Stopping and reloading would fix the problem.

I forgot to mention - I am using WebWasher (www.webwasher.com), a proxy that
filters out JavaScript pop-ups and advertisements.

This should be fixed in current builds.  The fix did not make 0.9.7, however... 
Please reopen if this problem persists in a current nightly.
