* TITLE/SUMMARY
Viewing Shockrave JSP page leads to infinite refresh loop, crash

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch Apprunner [I had the latest Flash plug-in installed on all systems.]
1) View http://www.shockrave.com (or http://www.shockrave.com/bin/shockwave/
entry.jsp)

* RESULT
 - What happened

The browser will enter an infinite loop of page re-loading. Eventually, it'll
crash. On Linux, the browser will flash gray and black with a ~.5 second
frequency.

 - What was expected

On 4.x, this user is redirected to http://www.shockwave.com/bin/shockwave/
entry.jsp

* REGRESSION

 - Occurs On
        Mac OS Apprunner (1999100608 optimized build)
        Win32 Apprunner (1999100608 optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 5])
        Linux Apprunner (1999100708)

 - Doesn't Occur On
        Communicator 4.7 RTM (Mac OS)


* CONFIGURATIONS TESTED

- [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM
used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6

- [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP5.

- [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM. Red Hat Linux 6.0 (GNOME).

loads ok to the point of plugins... assigning to plugins area for investigation
Gagan, I seriously doubt this is a plugin bug. All this happens even there are
no plugins at all. This URL does multiple redirections which can be seen if to
try it with 4.x and then look at the history. Who do you think could be a right
person to get it?

OK I will take a look at it... cc'ing jud for refresh=0 part!
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
This is nasty. www.shockwave.com does a meta-refresh redirect to
www.shockwave.com/bin/shockwave/entry.jsp. the entry.jsp url then does a 302
HTTP header level redirect to another url.
if you goto http://www.shockwave.com/bin/shockwave/entry.jsp directly as your
first load, you go circular (via meta refresh's) because the server doesn't have
a referrer field (I'm guessing here). In 4.x if you goto
http://www.shockrave.com/bin/shockwave/entry.jsp directly you get redirected to
www.shockwave.com (and the process starts again).
Target Milestone: M12
Moving Assignee from gagan to warren since he is away.

Rick, can you own this one (until Gagan gets back anyway)? Thanks.
Moving milestones...

Moving out to M15 - when I get back...

this is working for me on windows nt. is anyone else able to repro it anywhere?
I don't see the crash in the given testcase, although I still see a repeatible 
crash (Win95, build 03/05) in the test case of just marked dupe:
http://www.entertaindom.com/ (redirects to jsp page)
AsaDotzler wasn't able to see it on NT as well, Win9X only?

this doesn't seem to be plugin related.
