An obvious guess is that the other clients are following the redirects to
some sort of resolution. Take a look at network traffic between the
client and the server to confirm this. An excessive number of redirects
(circular or otherwise) might be an indication of some sort of problem on
the server, which the circularRedirects property can alert you to. From
RequestConfig:
/**
* Determines whether circular redirects (redirects to the same
location) should
* be allowed. The HTTP spec is not sufficiently clear whether
circular redirects
* are permitted, therefore optionally they can be enabled
* <p/>
* Default: <code>false</code>
