303249 - Not redircted to original page after being redirected to SurfControl for every URL

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Shadi Khasawneh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

My company uses a SurfControl software, which checks every URL visited by
redirecting the URL to the SurfControl software first, and then if this URL is
valid (for business use...), the page will be redirected to the original URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter any URL into the browser and press enter
2. You will be redircted to the SurfControl software to validate the URL entered
above. The following message will appear on the screen (this is normal):
"SurfControl WebFilter is checking the URL you requested. If this page does not
refresh automatically, press the"Refresh" button on yourbrowser."
3. It will stop on this page for ever. Unless I press refresh. If I press
refresh the original URL (entered in the 1st step) will open in the browser.
Actual Results:  
The SurfControl page will be shown in the browser window for ever.
"SurfControl WebFilter is checking the URL you requested. If this page does not
refresh automatically, press the"Refresh" button on yourbrowser."

Expected Results:  
The original URL should be opened in the browser.

I'm using the Deer Park Alpha 2.

One VERY strange thing:
 - When it is stuck on the SurfControl Page 
"SurfControl WebFilter is checking the URL you requested. If this page does not
refresh automatically, press the"Refresh" button on yourbrowser."

I view the source of the page => I get the source of the original URL (entered
in step 1)

It should show the source of the SurfControl page instead of Mozilla! Unless it
actullay opens Mozilla.org page, right?

This problem repreduces only with Deer Park Alpha 2 version. It works fine with
any previous version.

SurfControl doesn't claim to support Firefox. Probably a bug with SurfControl
and INVALID.

It is working fine with previous version of FireFox, and only Deer Park Alpha 2
has this problem. Therefore, it can not be a bug in SurfControl.

This is INVALID. There have been signifigant code changes in the 1.0 branch and
SurfControl is not compatable with them.
