Answer 1

I appears that you are trying to redirect to the correct SEO-friendly URL, e.g. if I go to test/39454-foo.html, it redirects me to test/39454-~tara-past-tense-clause.html.

You compare the requested URI to the expected one and redirect if they do not match.

However, there are multiple ways of writing the same URI. Some browsers may send ~ urlencoded and some may not, for example.

So you should canonicalize both URIs before comparing them.

Answer 2

Double-check the redirection settings on your server. Add-on domains should not include "www." when being added. Without this, this will solve the redirection problem.

Answer 3

Check whether all Google's cookies are allowed in your cookie settings (especially see the Manage Exceptions window).

Answer 4

This can sometimes occurs if the URL-mapping of the page has one or more redirect-conditions. If the software behind tries to redirect to the same URL-mapper (->bad programming). The result is a loop of mapping und redirecting in the Controller.

Answer 5

Okay, I faced the same issue couple of months ago and as mentioned in Solution 1 here, the culprit is the browser cookies.

You can simply clear the cache and cookies of your browser and the problem will be fixed.
