A Google WTF
-
Click: http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/buton/
Way to go Google!
This page they're promoting for their new "+1" service has an infinite 301 redirect to itself. WTF?
(who knows how long it will last)
-
Works fine for me...
-
Wow - still doesn't work for me -- and I tried in three browsers on two computers before posting that.
Still think it's a WTF.
Here's what I get from wget in linux: (repeats 20 times before wget gives up)

Geeze -- less than 5 minutes to edit a post? WTF?
It's still happening... trust me:
Here's what I get from wget in linux, so it can't be a cookies or browser thing.
(repeats 20 times before wget gives up)

Works fine for me.
-
Not working for me; it sends me to a redirect loop, too. Are you behind a proxy, by any chance?
-
no proxies here. Tried from one of my direct-connected colo boxes, and I get the loop. Tried from another shared hosting box in CA, and it works.
I have no idea

Firefox gives me:
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Try [url]http://www.google.in/webmasters/+1/button/[/url]. The .com and .us URLs are redirects, but everything else I tried worked. /buton/ links never work, but that may be for the best.

I got a "200 OK" response:

That's a DNS issue. If you set your DNS setting to 4.2.2.5, you get one thing. If you set it to 4.2.2.6, you get another.

As long as we're listing our responses, I figure I might as well try Netcat.
$ nc www.google.com 80 GET /webmasters/+1/button/ HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com Connection: Close
And the response:
