UIWebView 302 Redirects cause duplicate requests

[alpriest]

When using Wormholy, a UIWebView that receives a 302 Redirect response issues 2 requests for the redirect URL. You can see it happening by monitoring the web requests in Charles. This does not happen with WKWebView but there is a bug with that implementation which means I have to use UIWebView for now.

I've attached a sample project which demonstrates the failing behaviour, and also screenshots illustrating the duplicate request.

This is really strange. I will investigate.

[yangfeiyu]

I meet too. Did you find the root cause?

Any updates on this ?

[pmusolino]

I released a new (big) version of Wormholy (1.6.5) with some improvements and fixes. https://github.com/pmusolino/Wormholy/releases/tag/1.6.5 Can you test it and let me know if you are still encountering this issue?

This is still an issue with 1.6.5.

As UIWebView was deprecated in iOS 12.0 I tested with WKWebView and it is does not occur with that.
