I occasionally make small changes to my employer's web site through Squarespace. In Settings > Advanced > URL Mapping, I had set up a 301 redirect like this:
I recently updated it to something like this:
Even after multiple system restarts, the Chrome web browser on my workstation keeps trying to load the old invalid address. The status bar in Chrome says "Waiting for [old-outside-ip-address]..." and nothing shows in the address bar. It eventually times-out with an error message and finally shows the old/incorrect target address -- only after I waited for it to time out.
I see this on the error page:
Other browsers are getting directed to the new URL as they should.
On the same Windows 7 workstation, Internet Explorer 11 and Firefox 52 work perfectly. On my home system, Chrome 56.0.2924.87 works fine. Chrome is the same build on my Win7 workstation.
This behavior tells me that my browser is remembers something from a previous visit to that URL. It needs to forget that. I've cleared cookies.
[edit]
Well, I finally found something that seemed to work. I had set my browser to keep data until browser was closed. I set it to allow cookies and data to be retained. Then it had the options to manage data. I cleared everything for Squarespace and related sites. The redirect seems to work correctly now.
