Troubleshooting Infinite Redirection in a Web Application
I have a web app that is trying to redirect in a loop, and Firefox tells me that it stops because the request will never complete. Is there a good way (in Firefox) to see which url is being requested in this endless loop? The address is not displayed in the address bar. Are there any add-ons that can help with this?
Firebug is always a popular choice. There is a console window that will show you all the different requests your browser makes.
I'm also a fan of LiveHTTPHeaders , which gives you a separate window that displays all the headers and results of a request. If your browser is making a lot of requests, you will get a long log of them.
In the situation described, I will probably go with LiveHTTPHeaders as it logs all requests across all pages. Firebug is better for every page and more useful for inspecting Ajax requests.
You can try Fiddler. It should show all HTTP requests.

All you need is a tamper data plugin:
