I found a bug that could increment the redirection counter when the HTTP answer is a redirection coming in several tiny packets.

What about setting MTU of your ethX to a small number?
My ISP's proxy/router/gateway/whatever doesn't like to negotiate MTU!, but that's another story...
Can you use your computers built in firewall (iptables/whatever) or use another computer doing the same to get the same effect?
I don't know and have never done it before. Can the local firewall chop the larger incoming TCP packets into smaller ones? (just curious). What I finally did is to deliver small packets from my brain and follow them through the code! ;-). There're many options, one of them is to have a traffic control program that allows customizing (IIRC Sebastian wrote about one long ago...). Another simple to implement idea is to do it from a local CGI: sending a small packet, sleeping for short time, an so on. Txs. -- Cheers Jorge.-
