Yes, they show the document that should be treated as explanatory, explaining the redirection, _not_ as the actual page content - but for a browser, the behavior is perhaps understandable, when a loop has been detected. The real problem is indeed server misconfiguration as regards to the redirections. The server is sending the actual page content as the body of a 302 response; by the HTTP protocol, "Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s)." So it's not really even an error page -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
