Http redirection limit in safari

Hi,
I'll try to be as clear as possible about my question:
Situation
I took 10 Macbook Air's out of their boxes, installed Mountain Lion and installed the latest updates.
When visiting a (Citrix) portal, i have no issues with Safari after logging in and clicking on the presented ICA file.
Next, i took 10 Macbook Pro's out of their boxes, repeated the same steps to install and update them. When visiting that same portal, logging in with the same credentials, i get errors in Safari about too many HTTP redirects.
Research on this topic
I've researched this error, many people blame the website your visiting. this is wrong in my case, since the first 10 laptops didn't show that error.
It is advised to reset Safari; i tried. didn't solve my problem. Besides, why would it make a difference since the first 10 laptops didn't get that error ?
It turned out, after Googling some more about this, that each browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera) has a limit set for HTTP redirections (the default amount of max. redirections is 20).
On lots of websites people fixed this issue bij installing FireFox, which i is my preferred solution; i want my customers to just use Safari. But, for being sure if this would indeed solve the issue i tried this solution: in about:config changing the properties for HTTP redirection settings from 20 to some higher value (i used 999 in my test) fixed the issue. This seems to be the proof getting the "too many HTTP redirections" isn't neccesarily caused by the website. It is caused by the restriction of having a max ammount of http redirections in Safari.
The Question
In Safari 6, how do i change the max ammount of HTTP redirections ?
Is there some sort of hidden preference pane ?

Then, your only action is to follow its steps:
If the issue persists, sending feedback to the affected website may help. You can also send feedback to Apple by choosing Safari > Report Bugs to Apple.
Also, a google search for redirects  site:developer.apple.com
yields

  • No redirection to different url upon http connections limit exceeded

    Hi,
    As of Standalone OC4j 10.1.2, if you want messages to be redirected to a different URL when the maximum connections limit is reached, you would include the HTTP redirect URL to max-http-connections tag inside server.xml.
    <max-http-connections max-connections-queue-timeout="120" socket-backlog="50"
    value="100">http://optional.redirect.url/page.jsp</max-http-connections>
    I have a standalone OC4j 10.1.3, and would like to be able to redirect to different URL when maximum connections limit is reached but the above max-http-connections does not work and I am not redirected to different URL when maximum connectionns limit is reached. I read user guide of OC4j 10.1.3 and there is no mentioning of max-http-connections at all. In there, they talk about limiting concurrency via http thread pool but there is no discussion as to the mechanism of redirecting users to a different URL where I can display a user friendly message to say "Server is busy, please try again later..." instead of browser display a message "Page cannot be displayed"..
    Please advice,
    Thanks

    Any thoughts on above issue ? please help.
    thanks

  • How do I get rid of (to many HTTP redirects) from my App Store

    Every time I go to categories or top 25 I cannot get in it keeps saying to many HTTP redirect how can I fix this
    It did not start until I had my phone reset. And I try resetting my phone again and it won't even reset now

    Clearing the History and Cookies on Safari then closing safari from the background has helped me with this issue
    Go to Settings then click on Safari. Once there, clear the cookies and data. Then go into safari app then clear the history. Once you do that, close safari from the background by double clicking the home button, hold the app then hit the red - to close.

  • Every time I click on the Categories tab or Top 25 tab in the app store, it says 'too many http redirects'

    Every time I open the app store on my iPod touch, it says 'too many http redirects' whenever I click on the Categories and Top 25 tabs. I tried force quitting the app store, that didn't work. I tried closing all windows in Safari and force quitting safari, also didn't work. I reset the network settings, that didn't work either. When I reset all settings, it appeared to work. The tabs were different (it had a Genius tab), but it worked. However, immediately after force quitting the app store (I force quit a lot to keep as much RAM clear as possible), the same thing happened again. Does anyone know a permanent, Apple-supported solution to this problem? And please do not say restoring it. I don't want to start from scratch just to potentially experience the same problem.

    See:
    to many HTTP redirects: Apple Support Communities
    However, it seems to be an Apple/network problem beyond your control

  • How can i get rid of ad redirects on my Safari?

    How can i get rid of ad redirects on my Safari? Pop up blocks are not working.

    Download and install GlimmerBlocker.
    (Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
    and clear your History)
    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

  • How can you fix the too many http redirects on the App Store

    Each time I use my App Store and click on top 25 or categories it says too many http redirects and I need help fixing this problem. This problem has been occurring for about 1-2 weeks

    I never had happen on app store but try this:
    Removing or clearing stored Safari content
    To clear your history from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear History
    To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
    iOS 5 or later: To clear other stored information from Safari, tap Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data
    referenced artilce HT1677. If it still does not work just use a computer and sync apps over or call apple support (you most likely will have to pay for it though).

  • Cant get rid of a popup redirect window in Safari

    Im trying to help a fellow Mac friend remove a redirect popup in Safari ( http://premium_.s3.amazonaws.com ). We've tried resetting Safari with all check boxes selected ( cache, history, and cookies ) with no luck. Any ideas?? The full URL of the pop up is; http://premium_.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIKDZBVZT6ABSN6MA& Expires=1297868651&Signature=%2BFSgnYpjonDbt7%2B6PHvBpR4xo4o%3D

    (( some Windows sites state this is actually a virus ))

    Hi,
    If it was a virus, it would be for Windows, not Mac and there are no downloadable files available from those links.
    Redirects are a result of your friends ISP.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q)
    Change to OpenDNS to avoid redirects. It's free and includes anti phishing filters.
    Open System Preferences / Network. Click the Advanced tab then select the DNS tab.
    Click + then type in these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again
    Type in these numbers.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Relaunch Safari.

  • "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded" can't open web page

    hi,
    I have portal 2005Q4 running with a gateway. I created a portlet based on the iframe provider. This portlet points to http://iisserver.
    iisserver is a server on our LAN. When you go to http://iisserver, it automatically redirects you to http://iisserver/auth/login.aspx. But when I use the iframe portlet to access this server, I get the following error message "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked" and nothing shows up. Of course cookies are not blocked.
    So In the amconsole > service configuration > SRA config > gateway > URLs to which User Session Cookie is Forwarded, I added http://iisserver. Usually this solves this error message. But not today. So I replaced http://iisserver by http://iisserver/auth/. After this change I was able to see the redirection page but then the redirection failed with the same error message. And I still cannot see http://iisserver/auth/login.aspx in the portlet.
    I hope someone can help

    I am having a problem getting into the App Store on my iPhone since the recent update, I have a 4s and it appears the feature tab is not working. When I try to go into the feature tab in the App Store I get a message "too many HTTP redirects" ?...

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    Protocol usage and redirects are a server-side thing. This has nothing to do with designing the web page and thus nothing with Muse, either.
