Add a variable that tells you if it redirected or not

[datagutt]

Would be useful to have a way to know if the url you passed redirected to another or not.

In regards to the same issue, is it possible to pass the last redirected URL to the response argument in the callback?
so I could do:

http.request(url1, function(response) {
    console.log(response.currentURL); //or similar. Maybe I just overlooked something?
});

I've figured it out.
In the redirectCallback method add this:

      function redirectCallback (reqUrl, redirect) {
        return function (res) {
          //these two following lines:
          res.currentURL = reqUrl; //will have the last redirected url
          res.redirectCount = redirect.count -1; //will include the number of redirects

Therefore the in the request response callback you can fetch them as in the previous comment:

http.request(url1, function(response) {
    console.log(response.currentURL);
    console.log(response.redirectCount);
});

Btw, awesome module!

+1 for this.

Actually not changing the status code would be good enough, I think. We know the initial url because we make the request, so I don't need other people to tell me my initial request url. If the status code can still be 30x, not changing it to 200, that would be good enough.

I found a workaround:

var redirectedUrl = res.headers['content-location'];
console.log(redirectedUrl, originalUrl);
if (redirectedUrl && redirectedUrl !== originalUrl) {
    // redirected;
} else {
    // not redirected;
}
