Description
With this file (follow redirection from a POST request)
POST https://foo.com
[Options]
location: true
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
url == "https://bar.com"
Hurl 4.3.0 implements curl's behaviour:
From https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-L:
When curl follows a redirect and if the request is a POST, it sends the following request with a GET if the HTTP response was 301, 302, or 303. If the response code was any other 3xx code, curl resends the following request using the same unmodified method.
In Hurl debugs logs, the curl command is:
* Request can be run with the following curl command:
* curl --request POST --location 'https://foo.com'
This command will NOT make a POST request followed by a GET redirection
This command will force all methods to be POST and so does not corresponds to the behavior of Hurl file.
As https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html#-X, --location and --request/-X does not well play together:
The method string you set with -X, --request is used for all requests, which if you for example use -L, --location may cause unintended side-effects when curl does not change request method according to the HTTP 30x response codes - and similar.
In https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/09/11/unnecessary-use-of-curl-x/ the "right" curl command in this case should be:
* Request can be run with the following curl command:
* curl --data '' --location 'https://foo.com'
