POST changes to GET

[Michael Chenetz]

I have a page that i am posting to and it redirects to another page. I understand that most servers will redirect a POST to a GET. How do i catch the redirect URL so that i can POST to it. Here is some example code below.

var req = https.request({
    host: 'dashboard.meraki.com',
    path: '/api/v0/networks/1234567/vlans/',
    headers: {
        'x-cisco-meraki-api-key': '12345678'
    },
    method: 'POST'
}, function (response) {
    if (response.statusCode > 300 && response.statusCode < 400) {


    }
    console.log(response.headers);
    response.on('data', (data)=> {
        body += data;
    });
    response.on('end', ()=> {
        response.write(body)
    });
    console.log(response);
});
    req.write('');
    req.end();

Thanks...

Mike

If you are getting a redirect then there should be a Location header with a new path or URL in it. Use that to create a new request. It is up to you which HTTP method you use for that request.
