Getting wrong header location in https response(redirecting)

[Kumar-Patil]

Hi All,
I am new to luvit, Please help me to resolve below issues.

step 1 : i will request url as https://premium.boundary.com
and i will get response status code as 301 and in response headers(res.headers.location) i will get url as (https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/) and it is correct.

step 2 : I will request URL as (https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/) and in response headers(res.headers.location) i will get (/home) . It should automatically redirect to (https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/home) this url.

Please help me to resolve redirecting issues. If some one already faced same issue. Please share your inputs.

---Even i have checked in java it works perfectly (redirecting).
--Please share information to info.patil87@gmail.com

Seems like you probably need url.resolve from the node.js API, which is currently missing from Luvit.

• url.resolve("https://premium.boundary.com", "https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/") would give you "https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/"
• url.resolve("https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/", "/home") would give you "https://pulse.truesight.bmc.com/home"

Automatic redirect is not supported in node.js core and the core luvit http library follows the node.js API.

What people typically do in node is use a userspace library like request that has a higher abstraction including automatic redirect.

And yes, as @squeek502 has said, Location headers need to be resolved against the current url to get the new full absolute url.
