Hello,
I am using the Node request module from inside the Node shell to submit a
login form via an HTTP POST. If the login is successful, the server
redirects to a 'home' page (with an HTTP GET).
The documentation for the request module says that any and all redirects
happen by default, and this indeed *is* happening - I can see the redirect
in the server log.
However, on the client side, I need to be able to get hold of the (html)
response body of the final redirect. (In my present case, there is only 1
redirect to a home page but it obviously could be more than 1 redirects
also in the general case.)
Here's my client-side code:
var request = require('request');
request.post('http://localhost:8080/login', {
form: {
user:'u',
password:'p'
}},
function(err, resp, body) {
console.log(body);
});
*The problem is*, the above code prints nothing on the console!
*Question:* How to print the response of the final (HTTP GET) redirect?
Additionally, in case of a chain of redirects, is it possible to retrieve,
on the client side, some info at least on the intermediate redirects - eg,
at minimum their URLs but, ideally, also their HTTP method types, query
parameters, and request bodies?
*Further double-checking:* If I use curl against my server, I see the html
of the final home page just fine:
$ curl -L -d 'user=u' -d 'password=p' http://localhost:8080/login
<html> ... </html>
$
Regards,
/HS
PS: I had posted this earlier on SO, but got no response there!
