Answers: dns - Chrome captive portal redirect is "stuck"

Lego Stormtroopr

I have an issue with Chrome (version 35.0.1916.114) on Windows 7 with captive portal redirects.

I was travelling, but am home now, so there shouldn't be any issues, but I can't browse to stackoverflow.com. I can browse to the domain in Firefox, and in Chrome I can browse to any question, page, etc... in Stack Overflow, but the main domain persistently redirects to the address of the captive portal login from the hotel I was staying at.

I've tried:

ipconfig /flushdns
net stop dnscache
net start dnscache

Given that the domain works in Firefox, it can't be a DNS issue, but I'm stuck. Any thoughts?

redirection - Chrome cannot access some Google applications/pages with ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error

I'm not a big fan of Google Chrome / Chromium, but I prefer it as my major browser. In most cases Chrome is able to do everything I need while browsing. Sometimes it is also able to infuriate me making me switch to another browser. I've noticed that after some long-term period (at least from my point of view) Chrome no longer opens e.g. some Google Docs documents/spreadsheets because of the error page with the following message:

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)

Then the number of such documents grows -- they all become unavailable. I was trying to clean up the whole cache of Chrome, and it didn't help. I also remember that creating a new local Chrome profile can help. But why should I remove the profile, then recreate it again, and wait few weeks until Chrome starts the buggy behavior again?.. I cannot figure out what is the reason of the bug. I usually use Chrome Canary builds (15.x.x.x currently), but this bug is alive for the last 6 or more months, so I guess it's still in the stable version of Chrome

Is there some way to fix it and possibly prevent it in the future?

P.S. I could not sign in to Super User from Chrome, and now I'm under Firefox, because I prefer OpenID authentication -- obviously it gets a lot of redirects error either while trying to log in using Google OpenID.

UPD: I guess it comes with Google profiles -- when suddenly there is no way to access some Google document from home, then the same document becomes unavailable anymore e.g. from office.

UPD2: A month later I lost the interest for Chrome. Removed it completely since I can't even access my Gmail. I don't really care for the solution at the moment, but it would be nice if someone answers - I'm really curious what's wrong.
