Description Azim 2008-09-30 16:23:07 UTC
I'm not sure where I should enter this bug report or if it is even a bug.  I tried the search from two different computer within my company's intranet and I get the same error.

Please note that I can get to the page on melamine by searching google and clicking on the wikipedia related link ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melamine ).  But when I search for "melamine" on wikipedia.org's main search page, I get a redirect loop error in firefox browser ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=melamine&go=Go ).

Cookies are NOT disabled in my browser, so that is not the problem.

No need to contact me back; as long as you folks are aware of the issue.

Thanks!
Just trying to help,

Azim


This is the error displayed in firefox:

Redirect Loop
----------
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
----------
The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

I also just tried from my other system (Ubuntu) and I get the same/simlilar error (and the URL displayed in the url field is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=melamine&go=Go):


The page isn't redirecting properly

We are aware. There are dirty entries in the squids from the problems we experienced some hours ago.
