HTTP 508 Loop Detected

508 Loop Detected

The server terminated an operation because it encountered an infinite loop while processing the request.

508 Loop Detectedgeneral
508 Loop Detected
  • The server encountered a cyclic reference while processing the request.
  • A recursive resource traversal or routing rule created an infinite loop.
  • Server-side logic or WebDAV-style processing repeated the same operation without termination.
  1. Review the server-side processing path for recursive logic or cyclic references.
  2. Check routing, rewrite, or resource traversal rules that may loop back into themselves.
  3. If the issue is tied to structured resources, break the cycle and retry the operation.
