Issue 1942: Location redirects not working
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1942

New issue report by garbeam:
Product Version      : 0.2.149.27
URLs (if applicable) : http://dwm.suckless.org
Other browsers tested:
   Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Firefox 3: OK
          IE 7: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit the above URL with Chrome

What is the expected result?

The website uses thttpd and an el cheapo redirect cgi script which looks
like this:

#!/bin/sh
echo "301 Moved"
echo "Location: http://www.suckless.org/dwm";
echo
echo "Redirected to <a
href='http://www.suckless.org/dwm'>http://www.suckless.org/dwm</a>"

Hence, this script sends:

301 Moved
Location: <new location>

<a href=...

to the browser, which usually leads to the result that the browser
initiates a GET request using the new location instead.

IMHO it shouldn't be related to missing \r's in the line terminators, but
it might be an idea to debug the issue if 301's aren't handled correctly.

The script is an old technique which used to work in browsers long before
Google even existed. Maybe there are reasons why the chromium team decided
against it, in this case please let me know your reasons.

What happens instead?

You get an error claiming "This web page is not available."
