Comment #6 on issue 8755 by [email protected]: Too Many Redirects on  
code.google.com
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8755

Thankyou iburgueno!

It turns out this is a bug in code.google.com's webservers handling of the  
Accept-Language header.

In response to Accept-Language header, code.google.com redirects requests  
to <url> + "/intl/<language>", which is not a
valid URL. Now when you request that new URL with Accept-Lanuage header, it  
again appends the same thing, so we are
caught in a loop!

I will file a bug with that web service.

BTW here is a reduced repro case:

% curl --header "Accept-Language: es-419,es;q=0.8" --dump-header  
/dev/stdout -s "http://code.google.com/";

Or alternately using telnet:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: code.google.com
Accept-Language: es-419,es;q=0.8
