unloadable URLs

Post by coolmanoh »

I just tried to connect to LHJ.com/chicken and got the following: "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete." Googling this took me to a page that said this issue has be archived. How do I get to the archives so I can see the solution?

Does this link work ? > http://www.more.com/new-home-lhjcom
the URL link is a new site... but NO chickens anywhere

To jayhawksRock: Thanks for the info. Funny thing: When I direct my browser to www.lhj.com without "/chicken", it redirects to http://www.more.com/new-home-lhjcom, which is probably a temporary site for LHJ until they can get all functions from the old site transferred to their temporary site.

I have seen the error you describe in two situations :
– in some cases, when calling a site with http when it is a secure website (most places redirect properly, but a few have given me this error).
– in other cases, a programming issue with the website you are visiting.

Typically, the latter comes when a redirection (.htaccess directive) is improperly written and redirects on itself. Once Firefox notices it has been redirected 20 times, it displays this error message. I suspect it describes your situation... especially since you talk of a temporary site whose redirection may conflict with the one for "/chicken".
