Redirection Problem

Hi all,

This is my first try at Pound. I've successfully compiled and installed the 
executable but I'm running into a problem. When I point my browser (Firefox 
1.0) to Pound I get the following message.

Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. 
This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.

I've created a config file named /etc/pound.conf and to run pound I am using 
'pound -f /etc/pound.conf'. The contents of my pound.conf are as follows:

ListenHTTP 192.168.210.10,80
User root
Group root
RewriteRedirect 1
LogLevel 2

UrlGroup ".*"
BackEnd  www.lego.com,80,9
EndGroup

Before someone says it, this is a test box and I don't care about security 
on it thus root. As a test I'm simply trying to reverse proxy the site 
www.lego.com. Can anyone suggest anything?

In case it matters I'm running Fedora Core 2 and the version of Pound is 
1.8.4

Thanks,

Quaestor

Quaestor,

I don't think this is anything you are doing wrong. www.lego.com redirects to
another page on thier site. Which pound is probably chainging to keep you going
through the proxy which www.lego.com is rewriting...

You will probably want to set up a back end of your own so you can control the
redirects and see everything that is going on. You can also try to find some
other site to work with, but you may run into the same thing. Antother thing
you can try is creating an entry in your hosts file to point www.lego.com to
your pound machine, that may bypass their redirects.

Good luck in your quest.

John D.

PS if you change RewriteRedirect from 1 to 0, you will probably eliminate the
error, but you will most likly be redirected to the real www.lego.com and not
go through pound at all.
