can't see where the "more than 20 redirects" are creeping in. I assume it's
ping ponging back and forth between www and non-ww but I can't see where
that is explicitly declared/defined. After 20 or so it quits.


grep redi nginx.conf

     rewrite ^/caldav(.*)$ /remote.php/caldav$1 redirect;

     rewrite ^/carddav(.*)$ /remote.php/carddav$1 redirect;

     rewrite ^/webdav(.*)$ /remote.php/webdav$1 redirect;

    rewrite ^/.well-known/carddav /remote.php/carddav/ redirect;

    rewrite ^/.well-known/caldav /remote.php/caldav/ redirect;


grep rewr nginx.conf

    rewrite_log on;

    rewrite ^(.*) https://www.paulbeard.org$1 permanent;

    rewrite ^/wp-json/(.*?)$ /?rest_route=/$1 last;

     rewrite ^/caldav(.*)$ /remote.php/caldav$1 redirect;

     rewrite ^/carddav(.*)$ /remote.php/carddav$1 redirect;

     rewrite ^/webdav(.*)$ /remote.php/webdav$1 redirect;

    #rewrite ^/.well-known/host-meta /public.php?service=host-meta last;

    #rewrite ^/.well-known/host-meta.json
/public.php?service=host-meta-json last;

    rewrite ^/.well-known/carddav /remote.php/carddav/ redirect;

    rewrite ^/.well-known/caldav /remote.php/caldav/ redirect;

    rewrite ^(/core/doc/[^\/]+/)$ $1/index.html;

and I see traffic being logged so this is partly an nginx mystery and a
Safari bug. Firefox has the same issue.

I also don't understand why this breaks the php interpreter:
    rewrite ^(.*) https://www.paulbeard.org$1 permanent;

Ideally, the redirect would push the request to the www. listener and all
the work would get done there. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Almost to the point where I copy in the last known-good config and see
where I am but that doesn't seem to make much difference. Occasionally it
will work but not consistently over time.
