Description
Some websites set cookies and redirect to other pages. These pages check the cookies, and will redirect again if they are not present, resulting in infinite loops.
Examples are:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTCSA.2005.47 (at the second redirect, at least from my University)
http://moodle.uni-duisburg-essen.de/course/view.php?id=2100 (also at the second redirect)

- Tracker changed from Bug to Feature
- Priority changed from Must have to Could have
This is really bad design.
This will need some extra code as we need to save the cookies and make sure the path matches. Maybe we should forget about the path thing... I will add a patch soon.
