      It appears the feature “Try to Detect Final Redirect URL from Feeds” (when turned on), can cause an endless redirect loop on some URLs

      See Issue Screencast:
      https://screenrec.com/share/FKkpyO4ehu

      Most RSS URLs are fine .. but a specific article entry in the feed seems to be causing this problem.   I believe I found the problem article redirect here on a CNN RSS feed that is causing the issue:

      “Breweries struggle under bar closure mandate”
      http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_us/~3/us59TVAyvKw/33933149

      which is currently listed in the feed located at:
      http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_us.rss

      If you’re quick enough before the article falls off the feed, you might be able to duplicate the issue.

      In any case, the Echo RSS should not ever be stuck in an endless loop.   You should have some kind of timeout to error trap the problem and either use the original rss link or skip the article all together and get the next one.

      Please advise
