Comment (by johnbillion):

 CloudFlare have announced [https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-
 universal-ssl/ SSL for everyone] which, by default, uses Flexible SSL.
 Anyone who decides to use SSL for their CloudFlare proxied WordPress 4.0
 site will see this infinite redirect if they change their site URL to the
 `https` version.

 To that end, I'll revert [28610] for 4.0.1. I suspect we may have to live
 with it.

 This plugin provides a simple fix in the interim:
