HTTP status codes / 5xx — Server errors

508 Loop Detected

In one sentence

WebDAV: infinite loop while processing the request.

What it means

The server detected an infinite loop, e.g. recursive bindings during a Depth: infinity WebDAV operation, and aborted.

Common causes

How to debug it

Inspect the resource hierarchy for circular references.

The fastest way to pin down a 508 is to reproduce the exact request and inspect what actually went over the wire — status, headers, timing and body, without your app code in the way. That is what an API client is for; ReqPad does it from your phone, with every request saved to history.
