Hi guys. Been working on my site and then been trying to navigate through it, the once page redirects to another. then all of a sudden I get this weird popup (in mozilla) "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load requested page" Also IE seems to timeout. The page redirects from http to https.

yeah and I bet by the time the request comes back to your webserver it sees it as a HTTP request - ergo an infinite loop. are you using Squid per chance? or maybe doing something fancy with url rewriting in Apache? one of those is likely to be causing the infinite loop.

anyone come across this or know what the problem is?

I have been fighting the such a problem all today - a site that requires HTTPS for logged in customers (only), the site lives behind Squid (reverse proxy) and Squid hits Apache with HTTP requests... and if you try to hit the login page as http://mydomain/login.php it redirects to https://mydomain/login.php which is recieved by Squid which passes it to http://127.0.0.1/login.php - and the redirect occurs again - lots of fun really, and Squid configuration isn't mind numbingly painful either! hth to give you some possible insight :-/

Thanks in advance.
