In Chrome, how many redirects are “too many”?

Question

Often, when a script has a redirect loop we get an error in Google Chrome that says

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS): There were too many redir

Answer 1

Google Chrome 17.0.963.56 allows a maximum of 20 redirects, as tested with this PHP script:

Chrome aborts with error 310 when trying to open redirects.php?redirect=21, which means that the first 20 redirects were successful.
