What could cause the Twitter card validator to give a redirect loop error?


I'm using https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator on http://parlaywith.me.

When I include this tag (currently included):

<meta property="og:url"
       content="http://parlaywith.me">

I get this error:

ERROR: Fetching the page failed because it resulted in too many redirects. WARN: this card is redirected to http://parlaywith.me/

When I remove the tag, I get:

INFO: Page fetched successfully

How can I keep the og:url tag and avoid the error?


Solution

  • You might have to specify the URL with the trailing slash:

    http://parlaywith.me/
    

    instead of

    http://parlaywith.me
    

    Also note that HTML5 requires to use link (instead of meta) if the value is a URI:

    <link property="og:url"
        href="http://parlaywith.me/">
