go - Safari reloading web page 3 times during redirect -

for life of me thought going mad because far see was/is ok code in regards. out of exasperation decided try application in browser , found in chrome , ff app works fine, in safari reason refreshes page 3 times. i've tried resetting safari , turning off extensions in case issue same thing happens.

i'm not sure if quirk setup, or potentially code i've pasted here below have other eyes @ it. if more code/context required, please let me know. in essence takes user index page, movie page , repeats process 3 times.

func moviehandler(w http.responsewriter, r *http.request) {     command := r.url.query().get("command")     film := r.url.query().get("movie")      if pagedata.player.playing == false {         if film == "" {             log.println("no film selected")             http.redirect(w, r, "/", http.statusfound)             return         }         err := pagedata.player.startfilm(film)         if err != nil {             log.printf("following error occurred: %v\n", err)             http.redirect(w, r, "/", http.statusfound)             return         }         pagedata.currentfilm = film     } else if pagedata.player.playing && (film == "" || pagedata.player.filmname == film) {         if command == "kill" {             err := pagedata.player.endfilm()             if err != nil {                 log.printf("following error occurred: %v\n", err)             }             http.redirect(w, r, "/", http.statusfound)             return         } else if command != "" {             err := pagedata.player.sendcommandtofilm(command)             if err != nil {                 log.printf("following error occurred: %v\n", err)             }         }     } else {         http.redirect(w, r, "/", http.statusfound)         return     }     rendertemplate(w, "movie.html") } 

note: i'm still inexperienced coder (especially go), additional input on improving code in other way appreciated.
