Defined in:

Overview

Public: Follow HTTP 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308 redirects.

For HTTP 301, 302, and 303, the original GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, or PATCH request gets converted into a GET. With ‘:standards_compliant => true`, however, the HTTP method after 301/302 remains unchanged. This allows you to opt into HTTP/1.1 compliance and act unlike the major web browsers.

This middleware currently only works with synchronous requests; i.e. it doesn’t support parallelism.

If you wish to persist cookies across redirects, you could use the faraday-cookie_jar gem:

Faraday.new(:url => url) do |faraday|
  faraday.use FaradayMiddleware::FollowRedirects
  faraday.use :cookie_jar
  faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

#initialize(app, options = {}) ⇒ FollowRedirects

Public: Initialize the middleware.

options - An options Hash (default: {}):

:limit                      - A Numeric redirect limit (default: 3)
:standards_compliant        - A Boolean indicating whether to respect
                             the HTTP spec when following 301/302
                             (default: false)
:callback                   - A callable used on redirects
                             with the old and new envs
:cookies                    - An Array of Strings (e.g.
                             ['cookie1', 'cookie2']) to choose
                             cookies to be kept, or :all to keep
                             all cookies (default: []).
:clear_authorization_header - A Boolean indicating whether the request
                             Authorization header should be cleared on
