Hi!
Is there a way that I can intercept a “redirect” response from a network.request?
We have a webservice that returns a HTTP 303 with the destination URL correctly set in the “Location” header. We need that URL as a response.
Is that possible or network.request just follows redirects without any control?
Thank you

I’ve never seen our network.request() API return a 300 class result code. It seems to follow the link.
I did it by using lua sockets:
local http = require(“socket.http”)
local ltn12 = require(“ltn12”)
local reqBody = createBody()
local headers = {}
headers[“Content-Type”] = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”
headers[“Content-Length”] = string.len(reqBody)
local body, code, headers, status = http.request{
url = myURL,
method = “POST”,
headers = headers,
source = ltn12.source.string(reqBody),
redirect = false
}
if( code == 303 ) then
– success!!
else
– fail 
end
And to don’t run in main thread, I execute inside a timer.performWithDelay with delay 1ms.
The Lua sockets method will work for http: but not https:, though it may pick up a redirect since that part of the communications isn’t encrypted.

Hey Felipe, I was looking at your code. Where are you doing the network request? I do not see that in your example.
If you do not mind I would really appreciate it you could post a more complete example. Thank you I am really stuck on this!!!
local body, code, headers, status = http.request{
url = myURL,
method = “POST”,
headers = headers,
source = ltn12.source.string(reqBody),
redirect = false
}
That is the network request.
