Description

Hello,

I have setup a Wt::Http::Client using setFollowRedirect(true).
However, the done callback is called without following the redirection:

MyCallbackClientDone(Wt::AsioWrapper::error_code ec, const Wt::Http::Message& msg)
{
    std::cout << "Client done. ec = " << ec.category().name() << " - " << ec.message() << " (" << ec.value() << "), status = " << msg.status();
}

=>

Client done. ec = asio.ssl.stream - stream truncated (1), status = 302

According to Wt's Client::handleRedirect, it is likely we don't enter the if because of !err

  if (!err && (((status == STATUS_MOVED_PERMANENTLY ||
                 status == STATUS_FOUND ||
                 status == STATUS_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT) && method == Http::Method::Get) ||

What do you think? Is there any workaround?

Hi Emeric,

I do indeed see no reason to stop the redirection due to a stream_truncated error here. There is no reason to care about the body of the request, and if the response was truncated before the end of the headers, the headers would not be parsed, so the redirecting is already prevented in that case anyway.

As for any workaround, I do not see any. The change needs to happen in Wt.
