Well, I see you in the logs, but I don't quite understand what's going on. In the nginx logs, I see the redirect loop as you describe, but in the puma logs, it shows up as a loop of GET /unauthenticated.

Possibly related to you having 2 _greasyfork_session cookies for some reason?

Possibly related to you having 2 _greasyfork_session cookies for some reason?

After delete either _greasyfork_session, there is only one redirect, so this is indeed the reason. I'm not sure why where are two _greasyfork_session in the cookies, maybe caused by a chrome extension, like EditThisCookie.

I guess when the cookies expired and the browser get set-cookie directive from the response the first time, some extension can't handle it properly, so append it to cookies instead of overwriting the old one.
