Comment:

 I can now imagine where the 5 is coming from, just ran over this:

 {{{
 Note: previous versions of this specification recommended a
       maximum of five redirections. Content developers should be aware
       that there might be clients that implement such a fixed
       limitation.
 }}}
 from: [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.3 RFC 2616; 10.3
 Redirection 3xx]

 Looks like 5 has been chosen for a reason. As long as there is no really
 reason to change this I consider to close this as worksform as I did not
 run into any problems and was merely looking for a documented decision-
 base for the number of redirects - which I found now.

 If someone else considers change of the value should feel free to re-open.
