Description

Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

go to devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/
it will redirect you to https://devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/default.asp
clear the authenticated sessions, and go to devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/...it will stop on the redirect.html page.
That page uses a simple window.local client side java script redirect...but it will do the same thing if we use a response.redirect server side java script redirect.
webserver is IIS 6.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.start at https://devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/default.asp
2. clear authenticated sessions
3. go to devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/

Actual Results:  
The browser stops on the redirect page...devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/redirect.html
You can view the file source to see it should be redirecting.

Expected Results:  
it should redirect to 
https://devtestssl.securepromotion.com/RedirectTest/default.asp

Standard install of Firefox

No response from Reporter since over 6 Months and also it seems that the server is not reachable at the moment -> Incomplete
