Description

[Michael Nix]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927

The page displays correctly, and everything works (links etc) but when the load
is complete it is replaced by a "404 not found" error (in this case it's in
taiwanese).

The page has an onload that calls an image preload routine, but does nothing else.

IE behaves correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. view the page

Confirming with Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004110705 on WinNT4.

That page has the following tag inside:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="text/html; charset=big5">

So the page reloads and the browser tries to load
http://www.senao.com.tw/english/product/charset=big5 -> 404.

That above tag is wrong, it is missing the URL. See
http://www.html-reference.com/META_httpequiv_refresh.htm. 
I guess the webmaster mixed up the tags and really means

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=big5">

But this seems incorrect too, because this is an English page and not Chinese
Traditional. Please contact the webmaster about this. IE seems to ignore the
wrong tag.

Same domain is www.senao.com, see duped bug report (I checked it, both domains
have the same IPs)
