Research direction

Start by reproducing the login sequence: authenticate to develop.generator.inrupt.com, then to localhost with the same pod, and observe the redirect loop at inrupt.net. Compare the flow with a cleared-cookie login and determine what change prevents repeated redirects while preserving successful login across apps.

Description

Ran into an error trying to log in, specifically to the inrupt.net provider.

To reproduce, I logged first into develop.generator.inrupt.com using my jmartin.inrupt.net pod, then logged into localhost as the same pod. The first login was successful (and showed the login form on the provider as expected). The second login immediately showed a Chrome error, reading:

This page isn’t working
inrupt.net redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Clearing my cookies did indeed help, but I was able to reproduce this error a second time.
