[twill] Limit for HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH reloads

[ap2003 at libero.it]

I'm trying to use twill to automate part of the Drupal installation.

The installation page refreshes itself automatically to show progress. Unfortunately, it seems this confuses twill since twill believes it's entering an infinite loop.

I read that twill behaves this way after 5 redirections to the same page. How can I raise the limit so that I will be able to finish the installation properly?

The suggested workaround "Try turning off acknowledge_equiv_refresh..." doesn't work for me, since the installation gets stuck.

Here the log:

>> go http://.../install.php?locale=&profile=prof
==> at http://.../install.php?locale=&profile=prof
>> submit
Note: submit is using submit button: name="op", value="Save and continue"

Following HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH to http://.../install.php?locale=&profile=prof&id=2&op=do_nojs

ERROR: infinite refresh loop discovered; aborting.
