Reproduction Steps

No response

Is there an existing issue for this?

Additional Information

According to HTTP Redirections (developer.mozilla.org), client must switch to GET method when a "See Other" redirection occur.

Code Text Method handling Typical use case
303 See Other GET methods unchanged. Others changed to GET (body lost). Used to redirect after a PUT or a POST, so that refreshing the result page doesn't re-trigger the operation.

Hi @thibaultmeyer, thanks for reporting this.

By any chance, are you able to reproduce this sort of thing if you issue a curl on console and set it to follow redirects?

thibaultmeyer commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Yes, i have other weird issue by using curl directly. Insomnia, in my usecase, lead to a "400 Bad Request" and "curl" to an infinite loop, Because, rather than the message "Switch to GET" is printed, the next query is still POST.

I see, thanks @thibaultmeyer

Perhaps it might be a good idea to raise the curl related infinite loop issue on https://github.com/curl/curl repository

As for the bug on Insomnia side, we would likely need to fix this on our node-libcurl dependency

Issue open on cURL project : https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/9859

thibaultmeyer commented 2 years ago

hi @filfreire

I have a feedback from the open ticket on cURL, the problem is the use of "-X POST" (or other --postXXX) flag.
