Given their losses:

  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124885559949489575.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

it may be a clever trick on Kingfisher's part to reduce load on their 
servers by redirecting you to your own computer for data-intensive 
tasks!

Strange that you can get it to work with Noscript on. However,
I am not going to spend any more time debugging what passes
for code on their site.

This is indeed priceless, and probably passed tests with
flying colours on the developer's own machine.

Weird. I get that page first if the connection is slow, but
then it redirects.

Ah, I see now. It is because I have Javascript disabled by
default with Noscript. This is still a new one, as other
sites at least let you turn on Javascript.


Oh, hehe - check this out in their HTMl ->

I checked with FF & NoScript enabled.  Works for me.

Weird. I get that page first if the connection is slow, but
then it redirects.

Ah, I see now. It is because I have Javascript disabled by
default with Noscript. This is still a new one, as other
sites at least let you turn on Javascript.

Thanks for checking.

Gora

I can see both the .com and .in properly. They are not redirecting to localhost.
You might have checked it during some maintenance period.

[Gora Mohanty]

Hi,

  Can anyone confirm this? When I go to http://flykingfisher.com or
http://flykingfisher.in I get redirected to
http://localhost/welcome.aspx .

I mean, talk about stupidity. Oh well, another reason to fly
Indigo.
