Problem

How many redirects will a Connect to URL follow?

Resolution

If the 'follow redirects' option is not selected, the Connect to URL filter won't follow any redirects. If the option is selected, it then depends on whether or not 'retry on failure' is selected and what the retry count is. If retry on failure is not selected, it will follow one redirect. If retry on failure is selected, it uses the failure count as a count of total failures plus retries and will redirect up to that many times in total. Note that things like HTTP Basic can also use a retry, due to the flow where it retries with basic authentication credentials after being notified of them being required.
