Hi Yet Again,

The relevant code in HTMLUnit seems to be in WebClient.java:

       if( statusCode >= 301 && statusCode <=307 && isRedirectEnabled() ) {
           URL newUrl = null;
           String locationString = null;
           try {
               locationString = webResponse.getResponseHeaderValue("Location");
               newUrl = expandUrl( fixedUrl, locationString);
           }
           catch( final MalformedURLException e ) {
               getLog().warn("Got a redirect status code ["+statusCode+" "
                   +webResponse.getStatusMessage()
                   +"] but the location is not a valid url
["+locationString+"]. Skipping redirection processing.");
               return webResponse;
           }

           getLog().debug("Got a redirect status code ["+statusCode
               +"] new location=["+locationString+"]");

           if (webRequestSettings.getSubmitMethod().equals(SubmitMethod.GET)
                   &&
webResponse.getUrl().toExternalForm().equals(locationString) ) {
               getLog().warn("Got a redirect but the location is the
same as the page we just loaded ["
                   + locationString + "]. Skipping redirection.");
           }
           else if ((statusCode == 301 || statusCode == 307)
               && method.equals(SubmitMethod.GET) ) {

               final WebRequestSettings wrs = new
WebRequestSettings(webRequestSettings, newUrl);
               wrs.setRequestParameters(parameters);
               return loadWebResponse(wrs);
           }
           else if (statusCode <= 303) {
               final WebRequestSettings wrs = new
WebRequestSettings(webRequestSettings, newUrl);
               wrs.setSubmitMethod(SubmitMethod.GET);
               return loadWebResponse(wrs);
           }

It looks like a simple change could fix this, but not being a java
programmer I'm not all that confident. Can anyone comment as to
whether it makes sense for a GET redirect to the same page to not be
followed, or whether it would make more sense to allow it, and hence
make a fix to HTMLUnit code above? My experience suggests the latter.
If anyone could patch it and send to me I'd be most grateful,
otherwise I'll battle through and see how I go!

regards,
         John

Hi Again,

I have now tried loading these pages using Tamper Data to try to look
at what happens.

https://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/isbook_en_NZ?review?initValidatePNR.do

returns a 302 error and then I get

https://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/isbook_en_NZ/book/initSearchForFlights.do?review?initValidatePNR.do

which returns a 200 code.

So I will try to track down the app developers and find out what is going on.

But, I still don't understand why WebTest can't handle the proper URL:

https://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/isbook_en_NZ/review/initValidatePNR.do

When I look at this in Tamper Data it shows the first load of this
page giving a 302 error, then a second load of the same page giving a
200 result.

So I think I was on the right track below that WebTest is failing
because it can't handle the same page being reloaded as per this:

   [invoke] DEBUG (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient) - Got a
redirect status code [302] new
location=[https://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/isbook_en_NZ/review/initValidatePNR.do]
   [invoke]  WARN (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient) - Got a
redirect but the location is the same as the page we just loaded
[https://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/isbook_en_NZ/review/initValidatePNR.do].
Skipping redirection.
   [invoke]  INFO (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient) -

...
   [invoke] DEBUG (com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step) - Step failed at

invoke, Step: InvokePage at C:\WebTest\doc\ISIS\testTest.xml:9:  with
(resultFilename="response_1167767144056_invoke.html",
taskName="invoke")

I tried using  Canoo Webtest: R_1438 then with Canoo Webtest: R_1454
with same result.

Is this a defect in WebTest that I should raise in JIRA and is there a
workaround? Any help much appreciated!

regards,
         John
