It shouldn't be IE it should be any browser. But to if you want an offline development situation you need to install a Loopback Device Driver I can't remember the exact method but basically with your windows disk if you go through the Add New Hardware wizard and install a Network Adapter by Hardware manufacturer , select Microsoft there should be a Loopback Device driver. I think otherwise Google it for your OS.

In terms of the redirect page. It depends there are a couple of other methods. You can log the remote IP of the submitter, store it in a temporary file and not let someone submit twice within say 2 minutes or something. you can also do this by setting temporary "No submit" cookie. This is also one reason why using a POST method can be a little better because it warns a user if they refresh the page.
