Abstract
A computer system having a user specified web browsing system for selectively monitoring application request to web based applications to detect and track redirection loops. The web browser of an embodiment of the present invention is configured to track multiple web applications at any given time to determine when to terminate requests to the same application resource when a redirection loops develops to that resource. In one embodiment of the present invention, a user programmable cookie is attached to the web browser to periodically check user specified web applications when a redirection loop is detected. The cookie enables the redirection loop to be terminated when the redirection loop reaches a predetermined maximum number of loops.
