redirection system used in e-mails from C|Net do not work

this URI:
http://clickthru.online.com/Click?q=b6-llgUQCKgp1eArcHT_PwYcU30PRRR

should redirect to the article, but it will not. Mozilla just 'loading' for very
long time without any result...

That's the problem of all URI from this server.

Lynx/IE are working with this redirection Okay.
wget says something like 'malformed response header'.

At least some error message would be good.

1. try to open given URI
2. you are done.


Actual Results:  nothing happens

Expected Results:  should redirect to this article:
