Description:
"Beginning MYSQL 5.0 With Visual Studio.NET 2005" lists "MySQL Administrator 1.1" at webpage http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/1.1.html
which has a permanent redirect on it...
back to itself.

CHROME:
This webpage has a redirect loop.

The webpage at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/1.1.html has resulted in too many redirects. 

How to repeat:
go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/administrator/1.1.html 

Suggested fix:
remove the page; or correct the redirect.

Thank you for the problem report.

This is certainly not a documentation problem. Also, I cannot access that page at all, so maybe it has been removed in the meantime.

In any case, changing category to "MySQL Administrator".

This is already solved when web pages were re-designed.

May be "already fixed"; but you have (a) documentation online (the how-to developer pdf) that points to it; and (b) there are multiple pages that redirect that way.  That's all I was trying to point out.  (if the page doesn't exist, or is obsoleted --- redirect to a "that is deprecated", or just remove the link.

start: http://dev.mysql.com/usingmysql/dotnet/

got to: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/Beginning_MYSQL_5_with_Visual_Studio.NET_2005...
(sorry about the line break)

the links could redirect to:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.5.html

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/

etc...
just IMHO...
