Redirect Following Example

Demonstrates redirect policy configuration including follow_redirects, max_redirects, preserve_method, preserve_headers, allow_cross_origin, and the getRedirectMethod logic.

Demo Program

const default = httpx.RedirectPolicy{};
std.debug.print("  max_redirects:    {d}\n", .{default.max_redirects});
std.debug.print("  follow_redirects: {}\n", .{default.follow_redirects});

const strict = httpx.RedirectPolicy.strict();
// strict.preserve_method == true

const redirect_method = default.getRedirectMethod(301, .POST);
// 301 with POST -> method changes to GET

const strict_method = strict.getRedirectMethod(301, .POST);
// strict: 301 with POST -> POST preserved

Run

Checklist

• [x] Default policy follows redirects, changes POST→GET for 301/302/303
• [x] RedirectPolicy.noFollow() disables following
• [x] RedirectPolicy.strict() preserves original HTTP method
• [x] 307/308 always preserve the method
• [x] 301/302 change POST to GET under default policy
• [x] 303 always changes to GET regardless of policy
