276016 - mingyitang.com - loops with a 404 script and onerror

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Chinese-Simplified, defect)

Description

[Alvin SIU]

Simply cannot open this site
Firefox  gives the message 
"Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in E:\mingyitang\index.php on line 1"
while attempting to open this site.

When using IE to open it, it is okay.
The site is written in Simplied Chinese using encoding GB2312 with Flash

One of the first things the page does is include a script which does a
document.write of another script tag with the src set to
http://www.mingyitang.com/domain/data/ww.usr (where the ww is the first two
characters in the subdomain in the original request) and with
onError="top.location.href='http://www.mingyitang.com'". Since
/domain/data/ww.usr returns a 404, the onerror fires, and sends you back to
where you started, ready to load it again, and loop again. IE apparently doesn't
fire onerror when a <script src=""> returns a 404.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
