There is not, you have to build your own. The hardest question is how to define ‘too many’ requests.

It should receive mentioning that most modern clients will only follow a specific number of redirects (AFAIR it’s 10 for Firefox) and will error out after that. Some clients will also detect redirect loops themselves.
