I spoke too soon. The links work ok from a link in email, they fail when opened as a link from another web page. e.g. from within a DP Forum post. They also seem to work ok if you cut & paste the URL directly into a browser window as I am doing for IE.
Also - I see recursive redirects behaviour in Firefox for this links like: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/9/0/14908/14908-h/14908-h.htm
in IE I am presented with the HTML version of the text, in Firefox I get sent to: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/14908
& clicking on the HTML link from the catalogue page which results in Firefox just winds up back at the catalogue page. There is an explanation of this behaviour on the DP Forums here: http://www.pgdp.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=109273#109273
I'm happy to help debug off-list if needed, I'll go & install that Firefox extension installed. Contact me if you want my help, or you can track the discussion on the DP Forums.
Needless to say navigating PG as a Firefox user is v. frustrating at the moment.
Check what kind of HTTP_REFERER value, if any, your Firefox is configured to send to a web server. I believe Firefox uses the term 'network.http.sendRefererHeader' for this in its configuration options. -- Philip Baker
