I’m trying to send a GET request through my private HTTP proxy by pointing the HTTP Request (v2) node at a Railway‑hosted proxy service. Every time I run it, I get a “Maximum number of redirects exceeded” error. It seems to be looping between my n8n → Railway proxy → Railway proxy → …
I need to know the correct way to configure the node so that it calls my Railway proxy exactly once, then forwards to the final target (https://httpbin.org/ip) without redirection loops.
What is the error message (if any)?
typescript
NodeApiError: Maximum number of redirects exceeded
at ExecuteContext.execute …
Error code: rejected

NodeApiError: Maximum number of redirects exceeded
Information on your n8n setup
- n8n version: 1.86.0 (Self Hosted)
- Database: SQLite (default)
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS: main
- Running n8n via: npm on Railway server
- Operating system: Ubuntu (Railway container)
I’ve tried all combinations of ignoreSslIssues, followAllRedirects, maxRedirects, both with and without http:// prefix, but still end up in a redirect loop. Has anyone solved this in HTTP Request (v2) on a self‑hosted instance? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
