Fuel: Way to retrieve redirection info

[uranusjr]

I understand that auto redirection is implemented in #40, but how can I disable this? My use case is that I want to decide whether or not to redirect based on the Location header, but with auto-redirection I can only see the final response.

An alternative would be that I can in some way check where I have beed redirected to. But this also seems impossible—It seems to me URLs of both request and response in the callback are set to the original URL I requested from, not the final one that actually returns the non-redirection status.

Not possible yet.
Do you want to be able to disable the redirection feature? or just in specific cases?

[uranusjr]

I’d say just in specific cases. It doesn’t need to (shouldn’t) be the default, but there should be a way to change the behaviour. It could work as an optional parameter like this: (taking the idea from Django’s test client API.)

Fuel.get(url)    // Follows redirects (behaviour unchanged).
Fuel.get(url, follow = true)     // Explicitly follow redirects.
Fuel.get(url, follow = false)    // Does not follow redirects.

Should be easy to implement, since we just need to move the location of the redirection interceptor to the request and not global.

@uranusjr In the meantime, you could remove responseInterceptors and add yours own in order to do whatever you want to.

Example is here;

I'm having the same problem that @uranusjr have, i need the headers to decide if i want to auto redirect or not, in fact my calling code should decide that.

Removing all response interceptors doesn't really 'feels' right to me.. with the current FuelManager API, i feel that i might be removing more then I need/should.

Agree with @uranusjr and @njasm, it's missing feature. Let's say alone way to get auth from my server is to get cookie header from first response in chain. But with auto redirection I can't do this without removeAllResponseInterceptors() which seems to be overhead in this case.

I think it should be configurable.
