/me fetch failure causing infinite loop

Description

After login when no user cookie is present then the user info endpoint is being invoked via a fetch request and if that fetch fails for a reason (CORS, or anything else), and a re-render is triggered, then it will cause an infinite loop (can be tested with the example app, comment out the alert dialog to see it).

Affects versions

Latest

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure a failing userinfo endpoint in the example app
2. Login to the app

Expected behavior

Have some backoff strategy to stop making the fetch calls and getting information about userinfo failure specifically (because it is a backchannel invocation failure, not a redirect failure) or the ability to pass in a function which can do the userinfo invocation, so the consumers of the SDK has a better control over what to do.
