Follow redirects

[malcomio]

currently the tool fails if the URLs are redirected, e.g. from http to https

it would be good to follow redirects, and/or enable a mixture of http and https paths within the same sitediff.yaml file

Hmm, that's weird! We configure Typhoeus to follow redirects:

sitediff/lib/sitediff/uriwrapper.rb

Line 87 in fd4a2ec

:followlocation => true, # Follow HTTP redirects (code 301 and 302)

I wonder if @malcomio 's problem was a <meta> tag redirect, not a HTTP server redirect. Site generators like Hugo emit .html files for redirects that would return a 200 OK and not look like a redirect by sitediff.

Looking at the date of my comment, I think that the site I was testing is built on Drupal 7

as far as I'm aware (and from the tests I've done using curl), the redirects are in HTTP headers:

This is old and I can't duplicate. Closing, but feel free to reopen if there's still an issue.
