Browser-laptop: Redirection Error for CloudFlare enabled websites

Created on 22 Sep 2017 · 9Comments · Source: brave/browser-laptop

Description

Browsing websites with the CloudFlare CDN enabled results in a redirection error:

Attempting to load an URL resulted in too many redirects.

Steps to Reproduce

Simply open a website that uses CloudFlare.

Actual result:
After the "browser check" page, the error page is shown. At this point, if the URL is edited manually to just the root of the domain, the page works.

Reproduces how often:
This happens 100% of the time in my tests.

It is a bug of HTTPS Everywhere and that issue should be forwarded to https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere

do you reproduce the issue with HTTPS everywhere disabled?

Hmm, indeed HTTPSe seems to be the problem. I had some success loading up sites with it disabled. That doesn't make sense though since CloudFlare still uses HTTPS for its requests. Could this be a loop of both the HTTPSe and the site itself trying to redirect to the same URL?

+1 for me too!

Very annoying bug.
