<DIV>Yes, I have encountered this a few times. Apparently, it's not the Drupal is wrong, but the the redirector is wrong - the URL is always suppoed to be absolute. I have always had to handle my own redirect loop to get around this. It would be nice if Drupal recognized this as common practice.<BR> </DIV>
