Slurp does have problems with redirects (301 and 302), but this should 
not cause it to get stuck in this way.

What I don't understand is why it is getting a redirect in the first 
place. Requests for the basket page seem to be getting redirected to the 
basket page in an infinite loop - this is not good.

To see what I mean try this:

   wget http://demo.icdevgroup.org/i/demo1/ord/basket.html
