title=User:Paul_Sinnett/monobook.js&action...
title=-&action...
Is this normal? I don't have any of these pages defined but it takes
about 10 seconds to make these attempts.
Can you please check the exact URLs it's using, and compare against
your $wgServer and $wgScript settings?
1.3.6 has some extra checks for an Internet Explorer security hole
where a URL ending in ".txt", ".html" or some other
"extension" it
recognizes is sometimes interpreted as HTML (with arbitrary JavaScript
execution) instead of according to the set Content-Type header. If a
raw page request isn't coming from the canonical URL it's thus
redirected to the canonical URL.
That redirect might perhaps be failing if you have a funky setting. You
might also try checking the actual headers being sent (use Mozilla and
install the 'Live HTTP Headers' extension for an easy way to check.)
