issue 84
Reported by code-rev...@gtempaccount.com, Sep 24, 2009
Reported by Shawn Pearce <sop@google.com> on Mon Mar 09 18:08:49 PDT 2009
Source: JIRA GERRIT-100
Affected Version: 2.0.7
Environment: MSIE 6 SP 3

Opening the root page http://review.source.android.com/ and letting Gerrit
issue redirects to /Gerrit, when not signed-in, the page crashes with an error:

  Line: 3
  Char: 74
  Error: Permission denied
  Code 0:
  URL: https://review.source.android.com/Gerrit

Hitting enter in the address bar, or refresh, causes the page to load
correctly.  No clue what is wrong with IE here.

Maybe the same as GERRIT-208.

IE 6 is a pretty ancient browser.  Microsoft has released IE 7,
and has even now released IE 8.  There is no point in supporting
a browser this old, that has this many problems.

Users should either upgrade to IE 7 or IE 8, or switch to an open
source browser which is more standards compliant, like Firefox 3
or Google Chrome.
