Feature request : Either fully ignore or obey HTTP redirects

[퍼블릭]

I brought this up to the forum 'cause additionally I found that it only forwards requests with code 302, but not other status codes that can contain Location header, which seems to be a bug.
I wonder if this is still considered or not... :P

Best regards,

I suggest a 'Do not follow redirects' input argument to the HTTP Request block.
It does not utilize cookies, and redirecting drops headers and cookies set by original page which makes cookie processing much harder.
If that feature existed, it would be much convinient to communicate with websites.
Thank you.

An "Don't follow redirect" option will be in the next release.
Join the Alpha if you want it early, i'll probably release that in a few days.

with flag not set I get 301 error, suggestions?

Maybe the remote host doesn't send an "Location" header, or it redirect to itself causing a loop. Try logging the response headers.

As said, try using the Log append block on the Response header directory output variable.

It seems the Java/Android HTTP client doesn't redirect from HTTP to HTTPS, that's apparently expected behavior, see here.

Anyhow, just prepend https:// to your URL. HTTPS should always be used.

Thank you, appreciate  and sorry for the trouble
