Be careful using browsers to test redirects because browsers strongly
cache results.  It causes endless confusion with people.  The network
wisdom is to test using tools such as wget and curl which don't cache
and look at the headers for verification.

  wget -S -O/dev/null https://somesite.example.com/ 

The command line is preferred because it is a zillion times faster
than exiting the browser and flushing the browser cache manually
before every browser test.  It avoids the possibility of a monkey
testing mistake.

I immediately suspect browser caching a previous redirect since that
has been a problem so many times before.
