Bugs!

Post by TBeholder »

Currently, www.sandraontherocks.com loads forever and almost freezes the browser (Firefox 21.0; may depend on setup).
Experiments with Adblock Plus point at "http://www.sandraontherocks.com/images/space.png" and/or weird redirects for it as the only source of this problem.
Move the message wherever it belongs, but currently the bug is there.

No problem with mine, either. With and without adblocking- Firefox and Chrome.

Found it. Turns out that FoxyProxy hook (thus it does it as long as addon itself is enabled, even if sent to not do anything) circumvents FF handling of broken redirects, and infinite loop ("http://www.sandraontherocks.com/images/space.png" -> "http://www.sandraontherocks.com/images/nothere.jpg" <-> "http://www.sandraontherocks.com/images/nothere.jpg") kills the thing.
Without FoxyProxy an attempt to view space.png alone redirects to nothere.jpg which redirects to itself and Firefox says

Code: Select all

The page isn't redirecting properly
      
          Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
  This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
[Try again]
I left a comment on that addon's page (and blocked nothere.jpg for myself). Now it's up to Sandra's webmaster :) to deal with the redirect loop, which is a bug however you look at it - and not all clients are immune, obviously.
