Build ID: 1999061409
Platform: Windows NT
To reproduce this bug:
- Go to http://www.bear.net (warning: adult content). Apprunner will load a
page that contains a refresh tag that specifies a 20 second pause before
loading a relative URL:
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="20; URL=/home.tpl">
- Before the 20 seconds are up, manually enter a different URL and press Enter
to load it. (I used Yahoo!).
- Yahoo! will finish loading. However, in a few more seconds, the refresh tag
from the main page at bear.net will kick in and you'll go back to the actual
home page at bear.net (http://www.bear.net/home.tpl).
Expected result would be that you stay at Yahoo!; manually entering a URL
should "break" the refresh process.
I used view-source: to grab the source HTML but when it's served from a local
machine, the problem does not manifest itself.
I have seen a similar problem. I type www.excite.com (my personalized page,
which is set to refresh (with a META Refresh) every ten minutes) into the
location bar and hit enter. After the page loads, I type slashdot.org into the
location bar and hit enter. If I leave it sitting on the Slashdot page, or even
browsing through the stories, after ten minutes the browser will refresh back to
my Excite page. Conversely, I have a link to Slashdot on my Excite page. If I
click this link, I go to slashdot.org, but the page never appears to refresh to
Excite again. This is running M8 on NT SP4.

Rick, did I forget to give you this one before or is it a dupe. Either way,
here you go.

It looks like they removed the meta-refresh tag from this page... However,
other pages with <META http-equiv="refresh"...> seem to work now...
I think that all of the docloader work fixed the problem :-)
