Safari redirects

[djavet]

Hello,

A visitor send me this:
Zitat:
wenn man z.b. auf \'media\' klick,
bekommt man \'http://
www.younggods.com/cms/
front_content.php?idcat=28?idcat=38?
idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38?
idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38?
idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38?
idcat=38?idcat=38?idcat=38\', mit einer
fehlermeldung: zu viele redirects.


safari meint: \'Too many redirects
occurred trying to open “http://
www.younggods.com/cms/
front_content.php?idcat=29…?idcat=71?
idcat=71?idcat=71?idcat=71?idcat=71?
idcat=71”. This might occur if you open
a page that is redirected to open another
page which then is redirected to open the
original page.\'


I've not Safari on my PC ;o)
Can you tell if this a Safari bug?

Hi djavet,

i tired to reconstruct your problem you describet in your post.

If i visit your page and click on "Media" ( idcat -> 29 ) the page showup correctly. I tried this with Musik ( idcat -> 28 ) to, still do not get this failure.

I tried this with Firefox 1.0 , IE 5.5, IE 6 SP1 (WIN) and Conquerer under Mandrake Linux.

I do not have Safarai ( i think it is an browser, or ? ), so i cannot test it.

Maybe Safari do not work correctly, or Maybe the Navigationmod is not Safari compatible .. which navigation module do you use ?.

so long

it seems to be a bug in the safari browser

i've just checked you server http header when requesting page
http://www.younggods.com/cms/front_content.php?idcat=28

this is the result:

Code: Alles auswählen

Set-Cookie: sid_1_1=daebb0c931eca59c5bd021b66653c28b; path=/
Location: ?idcat=38
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

the interesting part is this
Location: ?idcat=38

most browsers should rebuild the correct url in this way
filename + header location value

but safari doesn't generate the url this way

it takes the complete filename + existing query string + header location value
the resulting url in your case would always be something like this
1 request: front_content.php?idcat=28
2 request: front_content.php?idcat=28?idcat=38
3 request: front_content.php?idcat=28?idcat=38?idcat=38
...
safari generates a never ending loop....
thats the reason for the error message...

a solution for your problem would be to define redirects in contenido with the correct filename + query string
-> front_content.php?idcat=38
and not only with the query string
-> ?idcat=38

this is no contenido bug...
