Thanks for the quick reply! So... what http code do I use to break out the
infinite loop so it loads only once?
I think the other 2 circumstances may have something similar happening to them
(which are forwarded using the web server instead). If I use the webserver to
rewrite the URL, the web browser tries to do something (I can't tell what), then
returns the error below:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address
in a way that will never complete.

Please note that traffic coming out of the stunnel looks - and actually
*is* - just as port-80-ish to the actual webserver as native HTTP requests do,
so unless you take special measures to break the loop, the webserver will try to
(re-)redirect *that, too*.
