Nginx redirect loop
rewrite or internal redirection cycle|return 301.*too many redirects
Fixes
- 1.Check for conflicting rewrite rules that redirect back and forth (HTTP→HTTPS→HTTP)
- 2.Use 'return 301' instead of 'rewrite' for simple redirects to avoid rule interaction
- 3.Add a condition to prevent re-redirecting: if ($scheme = https) { ... } or use separate server blocks
