curl: (47) Maximum (50) redirects followed

Daniel,

Just want to reiterate that in my original email I mentioned strange URL
transformation

1. Server responds with this path to both curl and chrome
/promos../../p/promos/winter-vacation-deals?langid=4105&affcid=network.cj.3211374.11259876.&affcid=cj"
2. Chrome transforms it to
/p/promos/winter-vacation-deals?langid=4105&affcid=network.cj.3211374.11259876.&affcid=cj"
2. Curl doesn't change it and gets into infinite redirect loop

When you try "modified" URL in curl then it works
$ curl -o output -L "
http://www.expedia.ca/p/promos/winter-vacation-deals?langid=4105&affcid=network.cj.3211374.11259876.&affcid=cj3211374
"

Somehow chrome is aware about this malformed server response and takes
care of it. Do you know why chrome messes around with location url? Thanks.
