The link '/test/redirhell/' generates some unique hex for each new redirect
path, which could alternatively have the hex preserved across redirects,
but with a counter that's incremented instead. If the counter exceeds, say
11428, then return a '50 YOU ARE DRIVING ME NUTS' response code.

As I understand it, the redirhell test redirects back to itself, not across
servers - my reply was more in sympathy with your server than with the
unrelenting client. I'm grateful for your implement of torture, it's been
very useful!
