  /eshare/server?action=3&u=a&p=mF7CRG&c=132&%3a16664">

The problem is that the HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" tag should have:

CONTENT="time; URL=stuff"

Note the 'URL=' part.  We are assuming that the URL to be redirected to is
everything after the first "=" character, which in this case is
"3&u=a&p=mF7CRG&c=132&%3a16664".  This is interpreted as a relative URI with
respect to /eshare/ ....
