I have an http test case for LayoutTests that demonstrates the problem, but as
Alexey noted, this bug lies in the Foundation code and can't be fixed within
WebKit.

What's happening is that the server is returning a Location: redirect with only
a query string (starting with "?"), and it expects the browser to replace the
existing query string with new one (but otherwise keep the URL the same) before
requesting the new URL.  I've never seen this before, but both Firefox 1.5.0.1
and MSIE 6 on Win XP SP 2 support it.

Darin: Would you assign rdar://problem/4474285 to the appropriate team at
Apple?

This has been tested with Safari 2.0.3 (417.8) on Mac OS X 10.4.5 (8H14), so
changing Version from 420+ (nightly) back to 417.x.
