Hi,
I've created htaccess with Frontend protection enabled (default settings) and noticed that from time to time my Apache error.log starts to swell with these errors:
[core:error] [pid 3268838:tid 3268923] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:55881] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary.
It took me some time to find out when it happens. 2 conditions must be met:
1) Frontend protection must be enabled,
2) Dev console in browser must be open.
When this happens, browser forces my site to serve .js.map files, which sometimes are not even on my server. Then all these requests get blocked by generated htaccess:
[22/Oct/2025:21:48:47 +0200] "GET /plugins/path/to/file/somefile-min.js.map HTTP/1.1" 500 669 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/141.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
and the above error is added to error.log.
When I disable Frontend protection, the same 'virtual' map file instead of 500 code, gets 302 and my error.log is clean. Of course I've added 'map' to allowed file types in htaccess generator, but nothing changed.
Now - what can I do in this situation? Whenever I open dev console, my error.log is getting stuffed very fast.
Cheers
Olek
