A little riddle. Probably about an infinite loop.


>From a previous session, I found this order:
<<
http://ted.publications.eu.int/official/SettingSessionVariables?!POST:S1h5seDYwwmARx0IHNAPSQ.41323824
>>

and clicked on the link to actualize immediately (not via wwwofflecontrol refresh) it, and see what it is.

The wwwoffle said something like 'Can't refresh POST or PUT actions'.

Next i activated the 'fetch' via control, then looked up the http index.
I found a page containing (translated):
<<
Your request for
http://ted.publications.eu.int/official/SettingSessionVariables?!POST:S1h5seDYwwmARx0IHNAPSQ.41349998
was stored as order. 
>>

I tried to refresh the page there manually.

wwwoffle said the usual 'Really repeat POSTDATA ?' thing.

Then there was a download, but the page didn't appear.
However, the download wasn't ending, and there was about 10% upload data.
After a 2 minutes or so i disconnected the link.

In the pages root domain index, i found 256 entries that wasn't there before, all like

which all contain:
<<
Your request for
http://ted.publications.eu.int/official/SettingSessionVariables?!POST:S1h5seDYwwmARx0IHNAPSQ.41349998
was stored as order.

There was no more fetch order in the index, and no abonementat all. 

There's but one different page in the cache index:
<<
http://ted.publications.eu.int/official/SettingSessionVariables?!POST:skGdEmK816tU5B9sv9eYGQ.41349d19
>>

and this page showd me when clicked the news content for a bout a second, then it faded away
for the above message, and the content couldn't be recalled again.

Also, the 'bakcwards' button from the broser didn't work on this page, it always shows the same
message, not turning back to the content neither to the index.


Any idea ?
