Netscape 4.78 not handling to META REFRESH for redirecting pages



I am having a problem in N4.78 when trying to employ a meta refresh to
redirect pages.  Basically, the redirect begins, but then stalls on a
blank page.  Meanwhile, the browser says that it is done.  The
redirect never resolves and the page never shows.  When I view the
source of the blank page I see only my simple redirect code.  So.. the
redirect started, but then stalled and never completed.

Initially, the page would try to reload itself over and over again.  I
modified the code to fix that, but now here we are.

Below is a sample of the code I am using.  Some URLs are complete path
listings (http://etc., ), others are partial URLs referencing
directories on our servers.  When I copy and paste the full URLs into
the browser they work fine.  It's when I employ the redirect
functionality when the page stalls.  How it should work is that a user
goes to a mainpage, then appends the redirect query string to the
address.  The query string kicks of the redirect by reading the URL
from a file on our servers and then serves up the redirect page.

Incidentally, everything works in IE 5.

<HTML><HEAD><META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh Content="0
URL='http://www.somePAGE.html'"/></HEAD><BODY>&nbsp;</BODY></HTML>

Any ideas are appreciated.
