Fastest fix
Start here first. Step 1 fixes most cases—then work down the list.
- Use the redirect checker tool or curl -IL to print the full chain.
- Remove duplicate rules so only one layer handles http→https and canonical host.
- Fix cookie domain/path so auth succeeds without bouncing.
What this means
Each response sent a Location header that eventually points back to an earlier hop. Browsers cap hops to prevent infinite loops.
Common causes
Conflicting rewrite rules
CDN, nginx, and app each add a redirect for the same condition.
Cookie/session bounce
Login middleware redirects back to a URL that triggers login again.
Step-by-step fix
Map the chain
- Use the redirect checker tool or curl -IL to print the full chain.
