i keep getting "too many http redirects" when browsing On an iPad Mini. It happens in Safari, Firefox and Opera.
i have cleaned and scrubbed caches and website data until I am blue in the face. NOTHING works!!
PLEASE! Give me the solution, Mr Apple.....or are you as bad as Microsoft when it comes to helping customers?
best wishes

It happens with a broad range of websites. Typical examples are Amazon, the BBC, Apple, (i.e. large corporate sites) but also with smaller sites too e.g. ericbibb.com.
its only just started happening. The behaviour is random. Sometimes I can access them, sometimes not.
All are easily accessible from a desktop PC.
It doesn't happen with my wife's iPad.
I am sceptical about this being an issue with the sites' coding. The behaviour is too random and sites that are problematic do not display the same problem on another iPad.
i can see from searching online that this problem is not uncommon. Has it not been resolved by Apple?
Hi. Does this happen with all sites, e.g. apple.com, or only with certain sites?
If it's certain sites, could you identify one?
It's basically caused by an error in web coding. You open one URL, but the scripting for that URL sends you to another (maybe a mobile version). That URL then sends you to another, and eventually, you're redirected back to the first URL. The browsers are coded to quit after a certain number of redirects, to prevent them from looping forever. A site may work fine on other devices, but fail on iPad, because the servers base decisions on the browser identification they receive.
Clearing the History and Website Data may help, since it removes any leftover data that may be confusing the issue. If it doesn't help, the problem is likely a problem in the web servers. Requesting the desktop version might help.
Too many http redirects....how do I resolve?
