INET_E_REDIRECT_FAILED

INET_E_REDIRECT_FAILED is a URL Moniker HRESULT. It means that the URL Moniker protocol handler could not complete a redirect. The redirect can have changed to an unsupported scheme, formed a loop, exceeded the permitted attempts, pointed to an invalid URL or crossed a restricted security boundary.

What to check

  • Record the complete redirect chain, including status codes, locations and scheme changes.
  • Correct the server redirect configuration or the initial URL rather than relying on repeated client retries.
  • Ensure that credentials and sensitive data are not forwarded to an unexpected redirected origin.
