Redirection limit for this URL exceeded

pug_in_a_bed

Hmmm,

Trying to access asos.com in firefox I get this pop up message,

'Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.'

When I try in msn explorer and IE, the page just reloads over and over and never moves off the start page.

I have just discovered I can get to the site if I go through a link form another page, but I can't get it working by going straight to it myself,


Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it me? Is it them?
Thanks!

Works fine for me.

I just did a search for Redirection limit for this URL exceeded on Google, and there were quite a few entries there mentioning that this tended to happen on pages with AdSense (a service from Google I think) code on them, but not all pages with this code and only in firefox. One entry says IE was looping like you mentioned.

If this is the case, it could be at their end (I haven't tried the site). Does it happen on any other sites with "AdSense"?

If it is at their end (which it probably is) then it sounds like some code is caught in a loop. Maybe some sort of JavaScript/Server-side sniffer or redirect that is looping upon itself.

It could still be something else, but the above is quite a common cause. Did something similar myself for a Magnum website, due to the JavaScript being cached on the client side. Nightmare.
