"Too many redirects" on forum

Anyone else seeing this? I'm sometimes getting "too many redirects" errors from Safari when trying to view this forum:

It goes away after a while, randomly.

Also: this is hard to debug; the Network tab in the Safari Javascript Console only shows the final load of the error page, not the failure. Is there a way to see the actual redirect loop URLs?

We believe we’ve made some progress on this. Speaking personally, I did not see the problem during my morning forums pass, whereas previously I might’ve seen it two to three times. Yay!

If you see the problem again, please let us know by replying on this thread.

I've seen it quite often in the past. It appears randomly, persists for a random amount of time, then goes away randomly. I've just had to wait and try again later whenever it occurs.

This is a known issue (i. 96094286). I don’t yet have all the details but I can share some background.

Recently we’ve added a redirect from forums.developer.apple.com to developer.apple.com. This is a good thing, because having two URLs for the same resource was causing all sorts of weird issues.

However, this change seems to have triggered this issue. Until today I wasn’t sure whether it was just affecting Apple folk. This thread confirms that it affects external folks too. That’s a useful data point.

Is there a way [in Safari] to see the actual redirect loop URLs?

No. That’s not the first time I’ve bumped into that limitation, so I filed a bug against Safari about it (r. 144077015).

It is possible to see redirect loops in Chrome. If you’re a regular Chrome user and you see this problem, please save an HTTP archive, file a bug with that archive, and then post your bug here.

Yep. That matches my experience.
