Just stumbled upon yet another funky IE6 “bug” (if I may say so…

When you want to automatically refresh to another page, you send a header that looks something like:

Refresh:0;url=http://blah.blah.blah

The funky thing is that if that header exceeds the maximum size of 263 characters, IE won’t do the refresh!

Okay there’s got to be a limit, but why so low? And why “263” ??

No need to say, auto refreshes work fine in Firebird with headers much longer than that.

I guess this is why you still need to put some dirty message underneath like ‘if nothing happens, please click here! :/

PS: Please don’t tell me to use a Location: instead. This would make it impossible to set cookies.
