FollowRedirect

Client middleware to follow redirect responses.

A 301 or 302 response is followed by:

• a GET if the request was GET or POST
• a HEAD if the request was a HEAD
• the original request method and body if the body had no effects
• the redirect is not followed otherwise

A 303 response is followed by:

• a HEAD if the request was a HEAD
• a GET for all other methods

A 307 or 308 response is followed by:

• the original request method and body, if the body had no effects
• the redirect is not followed otherwise

Whenever we follow with a GET or HEAD, an empty body is sent, and all payload headers defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-3.3 are stripped.

If the response does not contain a valid Location header, the redirect is not followed.

Headers whose names match sensitiveHeaderFilter are not exposed when redirecting to a different authority.
