cypress reloads in infinite loop when calling cy.visit to http URL that upgrades to https.

[Jsijbel]

Current behavior

When visiting a page that triggers certain redirects, the test runner keeps reloading and looping endlessly.

Not reload the test runner and follow redirects.

Test code to reproduce

Thanks for opening an issue @Jsijbel. Confirmed that I can reproduce this behavior. Is there a specific version this started occurring on for you?

It seems like there is a 301 and two 302's before landing back on inloggen, possibly this redirect chain is causing Cypress to become confused:

I'll get this routed and prioritized for a fix.

Thank your for your response and acknowledgement.
I honestly can't remember when this issue wasn't present, and we have been working with cypress in our teams for several years now. Normally this isn't a real issue for us as we collect the authentication programmatically in most cases, however for a new test case this is causing issues for us.

Was curious if there was a workaround ever found for this issue? I think I am perhaps hitting a similar issues (v12.9.0)

I am also curious about some workaround. Also having this issue (12.11.0) with an Angular app (redirects when authenticating).

Hi, I'm having the same issue. Is there any news about this problem? or any workaround? Thank you
