Too many automatic redirections were attempted

I am having some trouble when trying to us the SharePoint Client Object Model against a SharePoint 2013 installation. I am attempting to write some code which will allow both the upload and download of a file into a Document Library.

I have got the Upload part to work perfectly, using:

using (var context = new ClientContext(this.appSettingsProvider.SharePointServerUrl))
{
    try
    {
        using (var fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open))
        {
            Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File.SaveBinaryDirect(
                        context,
                        string.Format("/{0}/{1}", documentFolder, fileInfo.Name),
                        fs,
                        false);
        }

        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        this.logger.Error(ex);
    }

    return false;
    }
}

Where filePath and documentFolder are passed into my function.

However, when it comes to deleting the document, I am using the following code which I found here:

Delete Item in Document Libarary using Client Object Model?

var returnValue = false;

try
{
    using (var clientContext = new ClientContext(this.appSettingsProvider.SharePointServerUrl))
    {
        var sharePointList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(documentFolder);
        var query = new CamlQuery();
        query.ViewXml = "<View>" + "<Query>"
                                + "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='FileLeafRef'/><Value Type='File'>" + filePath
                                + "</Value></Eq></Where>" + "</Query>" + "</View>";

        // execute the query
        var listItems = sharePointList.GetItems(query);
        clientContext.Load(listItems);
        clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

        foreach (var listitem in listItems)
        {
            listitem.DeleteObject();
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
            returnValue = true;
        }
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    this.logger.Error(ex);
}

return returnValue;

When I try to run this code, I keep getting back the exception:

Too many automatic redirections were attempted.

Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas on how to correct this? I have found references to a requirement to capture the cookies that are being used in the request, but I couldn't find any clear way on how to implement this.

I ran into a similar issue when I tried to use this code:

For checking whether a item already exists in the document library. The thing they have in common is the use of ExecuteQuery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
