Reedy: What happened, and fixed how?


For the records, from #bugzilla:
<justdave> it'll redirect back to the main hostname to get a token issued to
say you're authorized to see the attachment
<justdave> the main hostname will check your login cookie, see that you're
authorized, and redirect you back with a one-time-use token 
<justdave> if something is happening that causes that token to not get recorded
in the database then it wouldn't be valid and the attachment hostname would
redirect you back again
<justdave> could also happen if something else is trying to retrieve it at the
same time and the token gets used before you get there
<justdave> if there's javascript in an attachment that causes it to reload, the
second load the token would no longer be valid and it'd have to go back for
another one
