libsoup and http redirect request

["Marc Murphy" <marcmltd marcm co uk>]

Hello all,

I have been trying to use the http redirect facility when I request to GET a file from a server.  The server will return with a new 'Location' and I can see the redirect handler being called but the uri isn't actioned.  e.g.;

 

-> GET http://foobar1.somewhere.com/myfile.wav

<- 302 http://foobar2.somewhere.com/myfile.wav

 

In soup-session.c redirect_handler is called and the new uri extracted and soup_message_set_uri followed by soup_session_requeue_message called.  The result is nothing happens.

 

If I resolve the domain name to and IP address and replace the domain name in the new uri it works.  Is there something I am missing in the automated redirect handling of libsoup ?

 

I am using libsoup-2.26.3 and I have tried libsoup-2.29.91 and libsoup-2.4.1 all with the same result.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Marc.
