class FaradayMiddleware::FollowRedirects

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

Constants

ALLOWED_METHODS

HTTP methods for which 30x redirects can be followed

ENV_TO_CLEAR

Keys in env hash which will get cleared between requests

FOLLOW_LIMIT

Default value for max redirects followed

REDIRECT_CODES

HTTP redirect status codes that this middleware implements

URI_UNSAFE

Regex that matches characters that need to be escaped in URLs, sans the “%” character which we assume already represents an escaped sequence.

Public Class Methods

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 that will be called on redirects
                       with the old and new envs

safe_escape(uri) click to toggle source

Internal: escapes unsafe characters from an URL which might be a path component only or a fully qualified URI so that it can be joined onto an URI:HTTP using the `+` operator. Doesn't escape “%” characters so to not risk double-escaping.

# File lib/faraday_middleware/response/follow_redirects.rb, line 127
def safe_escape(uri)
  uri = uri.split('#')[0] # we want to remove the fragment if present
  uri.to_s.gsub(URI_UNSAFE) { |match|
    '%' + match.unpack('H2' * match.bytesize).join('%').upcase
  }
