redirect not working?

[Zambiorix]

Hi,

Am I correct that aws-lambda-go-net is not passing on a redirect properly to the client?

I think it gets stuck in this component and doing a redirect locally ...

Cheers

@Zambiorix update your package, everything should work as expected now 😉

:-) great, I'll test it immediately!

Another thing, I believe there is a still a bug in the code:

You should always close a response body if a response is present.
Now you have 2 returns leaving the body open (and the socket unavailable for reuse)

1. I am aware that even if you have an err on newClient().Do, there are cases you still get a reponse body.
2. you should immediately close the body after a ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)

res, err := newClient().Do(req)
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
	return
}

body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
	return
}
res.Body.Close()

It's working :-)

I use redirects to test if cookies are allowed by client, and it now works as expected

Thanks!

I would solve the response body closure like this

res, err := newClient().Do(req)
if res != nil {
	defer res.Body.Close()
}
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
	return
}

body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err != nil {
	log.Println(err)
	return
}

@Zambiorix you're right in the fact that the body should be deferred closed before ReadAll but for the Do function, the general idiom is to defer after checking for errors. See also the commit message. And thank you very much for having reported this problem.

great, thanks!
