PhpBrowser does not follow "Reload" headers

[captbaritone]

I'm new to Codeception (and testing in general), so feel free to trash this if this is not really a bug or if PhpBrowser is actually a separate project.

I asked this question on StackExchange first and someone pointed out that Reload was not in the offical standards so perhaps PhpBrowser has no interest in supporting this functionality.

I am trying to write my first test suite for an application that uses the Ion Auth authentication library which uses this type of redirect throughout. I assume they have a reason to do it, so I would be hesitant to change our code base just for PhpBrowser's sake.

Steps to reproduce

Create php file, index.php that uses a Reload redirect like so:

<?php header("Refresh:0;url=https://google.com");

Create a test to make sure the redirect works, like so:

<?php
$I = new WebGuy($scenario);
$I->wantTo('Redirect to Google.com');
$I->amOnPage('/index.php');
$I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('https://www.google.com/');

Configure your acceptance.suite.yml use use PhpBrowser (like so):

class_name: WebGuy
modules:
    enabled:
        - PhpBrowser
        - WebHelper
    config:
        PhpBrowser:
            url: 'http://localhost/~captbaritone/redirect/'

Expected behavior

I would expect the test to pass

Actual behavior

The test fails because PhpBrowser does not follow the redirect. Codeception's output:

I think that is related to Guzzle.
You can try to reproduce your steps using raw Guzzle API. If it fails as well (probably), then create issue.

I've tried it in Guzzle, and as predicted the redirect did not work. I have filed an issue report on their issue tracker: guzzle/guzzle#444

We'll see what they say.

Looks like that is back to us. Ok... Need to think on how to get this fixed.

Was fixed in 2.0-dev and will be available in 2.0
