 * I can’t reproduce it, so I think there might be something in your theme or in
   your .htaccess that is doing the redirect when the site is loaded on SSL.
 * Are there redirect rules in your .htaccess other than SSL redirect rules?

 * Can you clear, then deactivate the caching plugin? That might help.
