[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#811371: Acknowledgement (chromium: unwanted redirection in Chromium)

[R. Maddox]

I have found what was the problem:

Today I have seen that only when this extension is turned on, immediately, I get unwanted Chrome redirection.

I get unreasonable unwanted redirection to third party sites, and by using localhost server. Here is the log:

::1 - - [18/Jan/2016:16:01:17 +0100] "GET /protected/crm/cgi-bin/image.cgi?image=32469.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 4043 "http://localhost/protected/crm/index.cgi?action=runpearl&pearl=show_contact&button_update=Run+Report&action=list&field_contacts_id=32469" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.80 Safari/537.36"

I have just now removed the extension.

There are no unwanted redirections any more.

Reported abuse to Google.
