Root Cause

The HTTP client stopped following redirects after reaching the default maximum of 10 redirects, often due to a redirect loop.

generic

中文

HTTP客户端在达到默认的最大10次重定向后停止跟随，通常由于重定向循环。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Set a custom CheckRedirect function to limit and log redirects 
    client := &http.Client{
    CheckRedirect: func(req *http.Request, via []*http.Request) error {
        if len(via) >= 5 { return http.ErrUseLastResponse }
        return nil
    },
}

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Increasing CheckRedirect limit without fixing loop 60% fail

    May cause infinite loop; fix the redirect logic.
