Redirection with query parameters bug in IE

I really, really, really hate this browser.

Today's bug: if you do meta redirection to the same path with different query parameters, it ignores and passes the same parameters that the original page had.

Suppose your page, accessed as http://foo.com/bar?baz=1&bleh=2 has the following redirect tag: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;http://foo.com/bar?baz=1" />.

The request the server gets? It's the original http://foo.com/bar?baz=1&bleh=2.

I really, really, really hate this browser...

You work at Microsoft. Why not check out the source and submit a patch?
