Are you running an old version of Hudson? Check "$root/api/xml?depth=1"; there should be <inQueue> elements for every
job, been there at least since Jun 2008. Is your Hudson server public so I can inspect it?
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2009-03-18 17:14:25 UTC
Can fix that error but there could well be others: cdev #0b82c1b61287

Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2009-03-25 22:11:11 UTC
Reporter confirms that a faulty IIS redirect config was at fault, fixed using

http://www.seothegame.com/redirects-on-windows-servers-iis-61

Currently ConnectionBuilder will issue a warning to the log if this happens. Better would be for the Add Connection
dialog to test this condition, say by adding ?dummy=value to the URL used when verifying the Hudson version and checking
for redirects which omit this query string, and treat that as an error condition requiring action before the instance
can be added.

Could also check for HTTP_MOVED_PERM redirects and update the URL field with the result. This would not have helped
reporter, whose server is sending an HTTP_MOVED_TEMP redirect which ought never be cached.

Fixed Add Hudson Instance dialog to immediately reject an attempt to add a URL if it redirects to another URL without
the query string. cdev #dc3a5b822718
