Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/366

Is this a bug (or possible vulnerability)
Dunno...
But searching the root url of whoogle (5.4 ver) causes Too many redirect error
POST method does not give any error and works as intended
Maybe it's a HTTP protocol thing?
Dunno
I just thought this's weird

This seems to only happen on Heroku instances, so I don't actually think it's a Whoogle specific bug. I can't think of why this would happen for Heroku instances, but there isn't any redirect behavior based on a user's search unless a bang query has been performed, and even then it doesn't rely on a user searching a domain directly.

It is weird, but seems like a fairly innocuous bug. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll keep it mind and revisit this issue if I think of a possible cause.

Maybe this's causing it?

Maybe it's a bug that's causing it to redirect..
