[ide] how to record redirects?

[Freakman]

Hi,
i want to test web application. I use IDE for recording and RC to
editing my script. Problem is: how to record redirects through ide?

I type in browser http://localhost:8000 which redirects me to other
page (and assign session id like /login.form;jsessionid=owag6n8g4zat?
id url) but the only thing i get in selenium ide is this second url -
i need to get this dynamically set sessionid in every test so in my
opinion i need sth like this:

1. open localhost:8000
2. get url with sessionid - somehow get it from url with regexp
3. use this sessionid to login into my webapp.

Is this possible?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can use the
command getLocation(); or storeLocation in IDE to capture the current
URL. You can then substr out or modify the variable the URL is stored
in.

Since selenium is driving a real browser you dont' need to know what
the dynamically generated destination URL is. The test steps will
look like:

1) go to first url (redirects will happen, but so what)
2) enter login info
3) click login

and it should just work.
