Hi,

When I try to visit http://mail.yahoo.com, I get stuck in an endless redirect loop. First, it redirects to http://br.f511.mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?.rand=0asabik3m2g1j, then back to http://mail.yahoo.com, then back to the first redirect, ad eternum...

Anybody else seeing this?

PS: Using the latest OW sneakypeeks (v612.0.90262)

Generally, you'll want to use the Help -> Send Feedback... for the official bug reporting.

As to the Yahoo thing, it works just fine for me. However, Gmail links don't open like they should, but I haven't tried messing with the user agent just to see if it's something Google or Omni is doing.

GMail links work fine for me (build 349), even when identified as OmniWeb.

Yahoo! Mail has been working okay for me. OW stays put after the first redirect (to http://us.f523.mail.yahoo.com/ym/...). This is with both the last full release and all of the 5.6 sneaky peeks I've tried..

Are you able to preview your mailbox from my.yahoo.com? Have you tried going through and removing any cookies for yahoo.com? So strange that you'd be stuck in a redirect loop..

Sorry, I hate to do this, but is anyone at Omni even looking at this issue? It's been 4 days since I reported it, and not a peep...
Is there any other "official" channels of bug reporting? This bug, along with the Gmail bug I reported earlier today are making things very hard for me...

I'm having the same problem with Camino, Safari, & Firefox. It seems the only remedy is to use the "Reset" feature in Camino & Safari and the "Clear Private Data" feature in Firefox. I don't use OmniWeb. I found your post via Google and just wondered if clearing the Cache & Cookies in OmniWeb might not fix the problem for you?

I see problems like that quite often because I have cookies defaulted not to accept. If that's the case for you, too, try enabling cookies for yahoo.

There are cases where this doesn't help, either, as there are redirects between several domains all of which need enabled cookies. The only help then is to use Safari with enabled cookies for that site or to temporarily allow any cookies from any site.
