Redirect Failures

Dear People,

I have a small problem with redirects. It appears that IE5 will not operate
with hotmail using squid version 2.1.PATCH1. When I goto hotmail via our
proxy it returns a redirect page as per below. the problem is that Netscape
will then get the re-directed page with no problems but IE5 will fail with the
message shown at the bottom. My workaround is to give people the redirected URL
(http://wy1lg.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/login) and then it works fine. Any ideas?

Kevin
