Akka Http Client - 302 Found no redirect

[Peter Neyens]

Hello,

I'm trying to access an XML webservice with the akka http client, but always receive a 302 Found response.

The code I use to do a request :
  lazy val serviceConnection =
    Http().outgoingConnection("hostname-of-service", 80)

  def doRequest(request: HttpRequest): Future[HttpResponse] =
    Source.single(request).via(serviceConnection).runWith(Sink.head())
 
When I use
  val url = new java.net.URL("...")
  scala.xml.XML.load(url)
I do not receive the 302 Found response and receive the xml response.

I don't know if akka http client does not follow the redirect or if it is similar to this old spay issue.

Kind regards,
Peter

I think that can be the case, see issue https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/15990

or if it is similar to this old spay issue.

Thank you for your reponse.
Good to know much more features for http client are being worked on : https://github.com/akka/akka/issues/16856

In the mean time I have resorted to Dispatch to access this webservice.
