asp.net redirect in firefox not working

Question

Hi,

In my .net 3.5 web app i redirect users to another page using response.redirect.

This works in all ie browsers but not in firefox browsers. i have no idea why?

Response.Redirect("~/"+ GlobalConsts.ARTICLE_ANALYSER_URL +"?"+ GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_ONE + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleID + GlobalConsts.QUERYSTRING_KEY_TWO + 
            SessionHandler.RedirectToArticleParentOrChild);

Answer 1

In firefox, check your about:config setting network.http.redirection-limit (which should be greater than 1).

A quick hint for general development troubleshooting with FireFox: Get the Firebug extension.

Answer 2

Try installing this Firefox extension and recording the headers that are sent to the client:

The headers may give you some more insight into what is going wrong.
