Who wouldn't? I doubt they're reading this, though

You are quite right about that, every 5 minutes if necessary.

I'm getting a cyclical redirect when trying to login to Passport on Microsoft Connect. Is anyone else having that trouble now?

 

[hethoofd]

I seem to connect just fine.

I've tried IE as well and get the standard "something bad happened" error message. Firefox presents a more proper error message:

 

[mansrm81]

Working fine here do you have the latest firefox.

 

[baarod]

Yup 3.1b2. Fails in IE too...

Try logging off and back on - if that doesn't help, clear out your Internet Cache folder(s) - and finally try a reboot.

Oh, an I wonder if the recent Developer Conference attendees are automatically added to the list? I know we get a copy of it - but do we get extended an invitation as well?

I, for one, certainly hope so - because one of the ways I am going to test it is under Parallels on an iMac....

I hope to get invited, I tested Vista & hope to give feedback on 7. I'm having the same issue with all of my browsers.

Something to do with Passport? I've been a Connect member for years -- since it's launch. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

 

[darkassain]

maybe something with DNS maybe ???
flush your dns....
and check again

Cache cleared, adapter repaired (flushes DNS cache), reboot, multiple browsers tried. Even used WebBug to look at low level HTTP traffic. Still 301 redirects to itself... The server doesn't like me

did it ping correctly???

did you disable firewall and tried???
if you have avast do you have network shield on???

 

[baarod]

I watched the raw HTTP traffic. That means I have a TCP connection. I saw a 301 response come back from the connect.microsoft.com host. It redirected to a Passport server which in turn redirected back to connect... Ad infinatum.

Trying Firefox Liveheaders extension now but that requires FF 3.0.5 as it's not compatible with 3.1b2...

 

[darkassain]

pinging is different...
ping the server...
it will not redirect...
if not try the ip address....
if it redirects but you can still surf to other sites
then

check your hosts file

other than that it might be an ISP issue....
hmmm nothing else i can think of....

 

[baarod]

I'd post the raw HTTP traffic here but it's rather verbose. Let's suffice to say that it's not having any trouble with address resolution nor TCP connection. It's getting to the page and the site is returning a 302 Found HTTP response with a location header causing the browser to redirect to the new location. It does that over and over adding bits to the query string each time. Something's broken with my account on the server side...

 

[darkassain]

you havent disabled cookies
so it has to be from your side...
there's not much you can do

 

[johngalt]

1) You can force install most anything into Fx 3.1bx using Nightly Tester Tools.

2) Post it using the codebox tags so it will have it's own scroll bars....
