HTTP log as wished

Details 
User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031030

At the example URL try to log in (any made up info is fine, just get the captcha
numbers correct).  I get a blank page (<html><body></body></html>) along with a
popup dialog that tells me 'location is not a registered protocol'.  I cannot
find anything on the form that might produce this error, so I am at a loss as to
how to even begin to fix it on the site.  My only guess is that maybe somehow
Mozilla is mistakenly implementing some sort of protocol guessing (like using
ftp:// for ftp.foo.com) here.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit www.kat5kaos.com
2. Fill out login form
3. Submit

Actual Results:  
Blank page, popup error dialog.

Expected Results:  
Proper form submission, log into site (or site provided error page for wrong
login info)
Confirming with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040210 Firebird/0.8.0+

Protocol guessing seems to work as typing "location.mooo.de" (which does have an
A record) gets a "http://" in front...

The site sends the following HTTP header:

>  refresh: 0; Location: modules.php?name=Your_Account&stop=1

As I understand, the syntax of such headers is:

  "refresh: time; URL"

So mozilla gets a URL of "Location: modules.php?name=Your_Account&stop=1"

Darin, did I get the above right?
actually I believe the syntax requires an added URL= in front of the url,
although mozilla probably does not require that.
It seems you are correct, the fault lies with the site (more specifically with
an old default phpnuke configuration) and not with Mozilla.
