Here's a guess without justification: it's trying to get confirmation that you accepted a cookie, and failing.

I did make a quick attempt with accept_session in cookiesrc, and it didn't appear to make a difference...

The basis for my guess is that login to gmail is possible, but requires more than five redirects, so I run a hacked up dillo 3.1, with a dialog about whether to keep redirecting.

How many redirects does it need? The only site that I tend to run into redirect problems with is nytimes.com (Not logging into any account; just looking at articles that people post links to...), and the last time I checked it was something like 12 redirects before it will give up and provide the page. And I wonder whether raising the redirect limit might be good, overall.

Does gmail still need all of those redirects if you let it have a cookie?

Some pages which show lots of 'redirected 0 times', show less when I block *.gravatar.com in domainrc. On 09/05/2015, James C <james.from.wellington at gmail.com> wrote:
