If you redirect to a page and then folow a link fron the page you have just redirected to the HTTP_Referer contains the url of the page that redirected. this may also be causing problems with Redirect in general, Example. Create a site that Redirects to a form that posts information to it's self or redirects, and then redirects to another location. The second redirect will take you back to the form again. i don't believe this problem exists in M13 builds of mozilla. see also BUG: 1582 and 26117

oliver@calleva.com: can you write an example that demonstrates this problem and attach it to the bug? thanks.

I've managed to track the problem down to some metta tags <META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type> removing charset=windows-1252 fixes the problem. mozilla may be refreshing when it comes accross this charset, and a refresh will go back to the initial redirection page. also view source shows you the source of the page that started the redirection, not the page that it redirected to.

This sounds like bug 28019 - Form POST method fails with charset <> iso-8859- 1...

and may possibly be seeing bug 28740 - Auto-Detect selection should not require reload in META charset page...

Aggreed, but this is compounded with HTTP_Referer containing incorrect information.
