164206 - enters infinite loop when loading ASP script

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 130409

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[John Meredith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020815
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/2002081506

From the page www.totaljobs.co.uk there is a iconic link called MYTOTALJOBS that
loads an ASP script.  Mozilla does not display anything but instead goes into an
infinite loop loading items.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter www.totaljobs.co.uk into Mozillas address bar.
2. Click the MYTOTALJOBS icon in the top-left of page, just under the main title.
3. Observe the results.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla displays a blank page and the status bar at the bottom of Mozillas
window shows that it is requesting and completing several items/documents.  This
ends after 60+ seconds with a blank page.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have quickly loaded a page that has forms for new-user creation
or existing user login.

I tried changing themes but the result was the same.

-> networking HTTP

Server is IIS 5.0

Mozilla seems to ignore the response from the webserver and keeps sending GET
requests..

Attachment: Testcase

Reduced testcase. The following javascript is the problem:
if (document.location.hostname == 'www.totaljobs.co.uk') {
  document.location.host = 'www.totaljobs.com';
}

The testcase contains bugzilla.mozilla.org and mothra.mozilla.org.
