Chromium 59 update - infinite reload loop

[Davis Ford]

Quick question -- the auto-update to Chrome 59 the other day caused one of our sites to break.  Specifically, it loads the page briefly and then spins into an infinite reload loop, loading the page again...forever.  It can be halted with ESC.  It does not happen in incognito mode.  We've seen it on Mac and Windows, but inconsistently (some computers do it, others don't -- same OS) which tells me it seems related to a particular browser's configuration or state.

The fact that it doesn't happen in incognito mode made me think it was some kind of problem with a rogue extension, but if I manually disable all extensions and run out of incognito mode, it still happens.

I've tried turning up logging to maximum in console and breaking the code -- no exceptions or errors in our code that cause this -- no explicit calls to window.location.reload or anything like that, the browser just re-navigates on its own.

I'm just wondering if anyone on the list could provide tips/pointers on how to trace down where the issue is?

Thanks in advance,

Davis

Hey Davis,

That sounds like a serious issue.

Can you file a bug on crbug.com with relevant context (including your site if it is accessible to the public) and post the link here?

Sounds potentially cookie-related.  I would check whether clearing cookies fixes it.
