Client-Controlled Redirect Loops

redirect-loop-and-spoofed-state

Success_url/cancel_url and custom routing/redirect rules depend on client-controlled or environment-specific paths, so state signals or navigation can be spoofed or bounce endlessly, yielding redirect loops, silent route loss, and false payment-state conclusions.

MATCHESSolution

Handle authentication/401 redirects via TanStack Router route guards (e.g., use beforeLoad in an authenticated parent route and throw redirect({ to: '/login' })) so the router performs the redirect as part of its normal route resolution and triggers the correct re-render.

MATCHESSolution

use hash-based routing — react + tanstack router + github pages. Tension: The default "browser" routing will exhibit the behaviour you describe.

MATCHESSolution

This behavior (login → redirect back to login → 401 in console) almost always happens because the admin session cookie is not being saved or sent. — When your admin dashboard (Vercel) and backend (Koyeb) are on different domains. Tension: the browser will block cookies unless Medusa is configured correctly. Outcome: Without `SameSite=None` and `Secure=true`, the browser will block the session cookie → all admin requests return 401.

MATCHESSolution

to your GoRouter. Outcome: You could also try to use the redirect function.

MATCHESSolution

try separating your sign-in and sign-up pages — In addition to defining the path in env. Tension: This seems to have solved the redirects for me. Outcome: update the sign-in, sign-up paths in the dashboard.

MATCHESSolution

Clear the cookies and test it — on another browser. Tension: private routes all redirect to the home page. Outcome: it went trough just fine.

MATCHESSolution

Use react middleware to check for the cookie and redirect with react router, then call the validation route after the token is found

MATCHESSolution

Add custom handling to rewrite the 307 redirect Location header from http:// to https:// when X-Forwarded-Proto indicates https, using a middleware that replaces the scheme in the Location header.

MATCHESSolution

You can use the `redirect` option to keep the customer on the page when confirming the checkout — when confirming the checkout. Tension: This only works for payments that can happen entirely on your page. Outcome: const result = await checkout.confirm({ redirect: 'if_required' });.

MATCHESSolution

I'm using Stripe in my NextJS 14 application. Tension: I don't want to run this code from the thank you page I'm currently redirecting from. Outcome: I'm expecting to run some code after successful payment and only then redirect to return_url.

MATCHESSolution

Implement tracking script to your website — Redirect users back to your website from Stripe. Tension: Set up webhook in Stripe that triggers on checkout.session.completed event. Outcome: Connect Google Ads API with your Tracklution account.

MATCHESSolution

Checkout Session is designed to redirect users only when a payment is successful. — with Checkout Session. Tension: when a payment fails, the users stays on the same page to allow them to retry the payment. Outcome: This way, when a payment fails, the users stays on the same page to allow them to retry the payment.

MATCHESSolution

fetch(url, { method: 'POST', redirect: 'follow'}) — frontend app is configured to follow the server-side redirect. Tension: not being automatically redirected. Outcome: fetch(url, { method: 'POST', redirect: 'follow'}).

MATCHESSolution

return the path to which you'd like to redirect — the `redirectTo()` method on your `RegisterController`. Tension: expected to return a string of the path in which to redirect. Outcome: return action([StripeConnectController::class, 'StripeOnboarding101']);.

MATCHESSolution

the only option is to write some custom code on your `cancel_url` page directly — If you want to know when a user clicks on the back arrow. Outcome: write some custom code on your `cancel_url` page directly.

MATCHESSolution

-back button = `cancel_url` — To loop back to your issue:.

MATCHESSolution

-browser back button = the customer should get redirected back to your endpoint — To loop back to your issue:. Tension: you could implement it to handle a second visit after Session creation differently.

MATCHESSolution

There's no simple solution to this. — when redirection is required. Tension: this doesn't really solve the issue when redirection is required. Outcome: I would try using the redirect `if_required` option.

MATCHESSolution

not redirect if the URL is already `/admin/main/users` — if ( adminconfig?.matcher.includes(pathname) || pathname.startsWith("/admin/") ) {.

MATCHESSolution

Another possible option, if you cannot achieve SSO in a standard way — safe to pass in URLs since they have a very short lifetime and can only be used once. Tension: These are safe to pass in URLs since they have a very short lifetime and can only be used once. Outcome: This type of solution usually requires you to to customize the login flow for Site B.

MATCHESSolution

HttpClient.GetAsync(new Uri(TextHelper.RedirectUrlNull(urlContent))); — We have an issue in our solution (we are using .net core). Tension: the SNYK vulnerabilities scaner show us that we have a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability.

MATCHESSolution

Use the documented `return_url` pattern where Stripe appends `payment_intent` and `payment_intent_client_secret` to the redirect URL; ensure the redirect page is served over TLS/HTTPS and do not log or expose the secret beyond the customer.

MATCHESSolution

Resolve the conflict by handling redirection consistently in Cloudflare (and/or disabling the Apache redirect for the same purpose), then set Cloudflare SSL/TLS encryption to Full (Strict) so HTTPS upgrades and redirects complete without looping.

MATCHESSolution

Use history replacement for the redirect (e.g., `navigate('/sign-in', { replace: true })`), so repeated StrictMode navigations only update the current history entry.

MATCHESSolution

case "CallbackRouteError": return { error: "Invalid credentials!" } — in my `login.ts` server action in the switch case clause. Tension: to return the correct errors. Outcome: bypass this error.

MATCHESSolution

redirect-uri: "https://localhost:41448/redirect-uri" — Here’s my application.yml configuration:.

MATCHESSolution

using reverse. — return redirect(reverse('ProductSingle', product.slug) + '#SectionInWebsite'). Tension: append "#SectionInWebsite" to the end of the redirect function. Outcome: return redirect(reverse('ProductSingle', product.slug) + '#SectionInWebsite').

MATCHESSolution

Move the `redirect()` call outside the `try/catch` (e.g., set a success flag and redirect after the block), or in the `catch` re-throw only redirect-related errors so they can propagate.

MATCHESSolution

Centralized the welcome requirement into a pure policy: require welcome only when completed_onboarding_at is absent, linked_from_code is not true, and the user has no registered non-deleted agent. — the root layout gate and the /welcome page. Tension: Removed the obsolete localStorage onboarding fallback. Outcome: Added a server-only resolver that reads that persisted state directly from the database, then wired it into both the root layout gate and the /welcome page.

MATCHESSolution

Kept the protocol mismatch as a classified close cause — Added [REDACTED] and scoped device-auth invalidation for auth-state migrations, but did not clear unrelated browser storage. Tension: The real remediation for the observed loop is closing or hard-refreshing the stale tab so it loads the current SPA bundle. Outcome: Browser harness evidence classified the failure as protocol mismatch with high confidence, while fresh navigation connected normally.
