@TavoNiievez This was released already? Cause I'd suggest to rename followRedirect to openRedirectedUrl (or openRedirectedLocation or openRedirectedPage). Why?

• followRedirect sounds to me like I'm supposed to somehow pass a redirect into it: followRedirect($redirect)
• "follow" sounds like some long-term action, while in fact it's just a one-time action (isn't it?).

Questions: 1: It does not startFollowingRedirects? I.e. it just follows the pending redirect from the latest request? => Should be explained explicitly. 2: Talking about "latest": If I stopFollowingRedirects, then do 5 amOnPage, then openRedirectedUrl: Only the redirected URL from the latest amOnPage will be executed? 2a: But if this redirect yields another 3xx response, that page won't be called (see 1)? But it will produce another pending redirect, so calling it repeatedly does make sense in some situations:

$I->stopFollowingRedirects();
$I->amOnPage(...);
// ...
$I->openRedirectedUrl();
$I->openRedirectedUrl();
$I->openRedirectedUrl();

TODO:

• Mention that it only makes sense after stopFollowingRedirects
• At stopFollowingRedirects, mention this one
• Add this:

  It's basically a shortcut for: $location = $I->grabHttpHeader('Location'); // REST module $I->amOnPage($location);

Yes, it was released as 1.4.0 right after merging.
