[Error: Exceeded maxRedirects. Probably stuck in a redirect loop http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/04/upshot/soda-industry-struggles-as-consumer-tastes-change.html?_r=4]

I don't see a redirect loop, so any idea what it could be? thanks

It seems that nytimes.com generates infinite loop of redirects with cookies disabled, so you need to enable them when make the request:

request({
  url: 'http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/04/upshot/soda-industry-struggles-as-consumer-tastes-change.html',
  jar: true
}, function (err, resp, body) {

});

If you're coming to this from Google and cookie jars don't fix your issue (or you don't want them) read #3139 to figure out why this happened and how to fix it.
