Summary0002175: Bad redirect URL
DescriptionOriginal report:
I was trying to download the latest AmigaOS4 version of ScummVM from http://scummvm.org/downloads , but after clicking on the "AmigaOS4 package" link an error requester popped up with "Bad redirect URL". The same link works fine with OWB/Odyssey. Any idea why this is happening? Could it be JavaScript-related? I˙m on the latest test build, 0002024.
Steps To ReproduceVisit http://scummvm.org/downloads/?p=downloads
Click on the "AmigaOS 4 package" link (all the release binary links do the same thing)
OR click the link below.

Directly visiting (typing in) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scummvm/scummvm-1.7.0-amigaos4.lha?download brings the file up as expected.

Interestingly this appears to be a redirect loop in SourceForge's download servers which results in us aborting (which gives bad redirect).

If we then go direct to one of the download links which kept 302'ing before, it downloads the file, which suggests that the referer is relevant to this failure mode.

What's also interesting is that we don't get this behaviour in other browsers, instead sourceforge supply a download page which then counts down and downloads the file.

The download links at http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html have the same problem. Again, hosted on Sourceforge, but the path format is slightly different.

I've just tried randomly downloading something from Sourceforge (none of the mentioned sites actually host on Sourceforge now, so I couldn't try the original links), and it worked fine so I'm assuming this has been fixed, either in NetSurf or on the sf.net servers.
