---------------------------------
Summary: Counting redirects in the core seems totally wrong
Key: TS-2691
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2691
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core, HTTP
Reporter: Leif Hedstrom
The use of the SM's redirection_tries counter in the core seems totally wrong.
And, and as far, as I can tell, it does not do what you'd expect when you e.g.
change the global config (which does nothing really).
My suggestion is to change it such that this becomes a normal counter, starting
at zero (0), and we increment it on each redirect. This sort of is inline with
what some of the code expects, it's just not consistently done so. Some code
seems to assume that the counter starts at the maximum redirects, and that it
should decrement from there (which never happens).
