Is it possible to get a redirect URL from a response?

[Ilyas Patel]

I'm making a http GET request which performs 3 redirects. There is some information appended to the redirectURL which I need to capture. Is this possible?

The request I am making:

.given()
    .redirects()
    .follow(true)
    .cookie("value", session)
.when()
    .get("https://www.example.com/v1/user/authorise");

I've checked the HTTP headers and there is no location header. I have seen another example using this from the java.net library:

URLConnection urlConn = myUrl.openConnection();

urlConn.getURL().toString();

If you want to redirect manually use the redirect dsl to disable redirects: given().redirects.follow(false). ..

Hi Johan,

I have a similar situation where I make a GET request to a certain URL,  that request is redirected with a 307 to another url, is there any way to get the "Location" from the first redirect?

Regards.

Can't you do given().redirects.follow(false).. and then extract the Location header?

Hi Johan, one question regarding rest assured redirects, when I set .redirect(redirectConfig().followRedirects(false)) - it doesn't actually make the redirect or it just means that the rest assured api stops following it? I am asking this because I have a couple of redirects which I don't want to happen all the way due to SEO statistics, I just need the first one. It works like this and in output it shows only the response from the first redirect where it stops, but is that only for the API or it doesn't go all the way to the page.

Thanks

Hmm I don't understand what the difference would be?

Well I currently have:

protected RequestSpecification spec() {
    RestAssuredConfig restAssuredConfig = RestAssuredConfig.config()
            .redirect(redirectConfig().followRedirects(false))
            .objectMapperConfig(new ObjectMapperConfig().jackson2ObjectMapperFactory(
            (aClass, s) -> new ObjectMapper().configure(SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS, false)
    ));

 

and it does not follow the redirects in the Rest Assured API i.e the output shows only the response from the first request which is what I need and it's great. My question is does the followRedirects rule means that it doesn't make the redirects at all or I am not seeing the results from the redirects in the output. I am testing an application where I only have to test if the first redirect is made and to not actually go to the landing page because it can mess up the SEO statistics. 

Hope I was clearer :)

Thanks

It shouldn't make the redirect request at all.
