Answer 1

I had this happen on an iPhone XS. It reported "too many HTTP redirects" only for a specific url no matter what I did. Even without an internet connection! Removing the app and reinstalling it solved the problem.

Answer 2

This is almost invariably caused by a server configuration error that causes the web page to redirect to itself (possibly by way of another intermediate URL). There's probably nothing you can do to fix this on the client side unless the problem is caused by your client code requesting an invalid/incorrect URL.

If you're asking how to present the error to the user, I would say that you should treat it in the same way that you'd treat a 404. That URL isn't likely to start working any time soon.
