web - What is the maximum number of HTTP redirections allowed by all major browsers? -


i designing web site, spread across many servers, , there pages need chain 4 redirections in row. tried few browsers (firefox, chrome, ie) , seems work fine.

apparently, firefox's default limit 20 redirections in row, chrome's default seems 20, , ie8's limit seems 10 redirections.

what maximum number of http redirections allowed major browsers? 10?

edit:

why need 4 redirections? basically, user in hotspot, tries go (say) google.com, there local captive portal captures request , redirects (#1) user local server. local server checks things user, if not have data locally, redirects (#2) user central web site. if user logged in central web site, gets redirected (#3) server (there different portals depending on user). finally, server checks user's rights, , if has appropriate rights, there final (#4) redirection local access controller, in order access appropriate service. believe me, tried best remove redirections, cannot see can optimized.

4 redirections should work in major browsers. however, consider reducing number give users faster experience. each redirection requires round trip between user , server (and requires creating new connection, if it's redirecting different server). in total, latency significant, annoying users.

i maintain single-page application uses yui 2.8 history module retain local options in url fragment. i've put behind cas authentication, , i'm finding fragment gets lost during cas authentication. retained in signon url, not when redirected application page. true after session timeouts, users bumped default options after re-authentication. any suggested strategies hanging on fragment (or underlying javascript state) though cas roundtrip? you can store in cookie, sessionstorage , or value of window.name if there no security implications: //cookie document.cookie = "fragid=" + window.location.hash + ";path=/"; //session storage window.sessionstorage.setitem("fragid",window.location.hash); //window window.name = window.location.hash references url fragments , redirects – ieinternals
