 Facebook HTTPS support is broken in strange ways for users who haven't
 enabled the optional Facebook HTTPS setting.

 For such users, pages like this one:

 https://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php?networks

 Redirect back to http.  In the past, that was merely a security flaw, but
 recently the redirect changed from an HTTP redirect to a fast JavaScript
 redirect, which means that our loop detection code does not spot it.  The
 redirection script is here:
 http://pastebin.com/SiWYzMug (note the hard-coded "http").

 This is really Facebook's bug, but we should also consider what we can do
 about cases like this.
