Description
"This page isn’t workinginrupt.net redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS"
To reproduce: Let a logged in session expire.
This was when trying to log into timbl.com after a long time.
I raise this at the OS level while clearly it is a bug in the underlying authentication system.
Cookie:
nssidp.sid = s%3ATXNZfrQ2R7nB9ajLoMAXk3RbC20k8w9I.bHBcLTqvcTT0W1JIwNne5bS9QXtWITSl6j4OZZpWV%2FQ
No evident local or session storage.

Start by reproducing the expired-session login flow described for timbl.com and inspect the redirect behavior and nssidp.sid cookie. Done means a session that has expired can log in again without entering an infinite redirect loop.
