TikTok(?) update now redirects video pages

[jussihi]

Hello, as with some update, TikTok seems to redirect the TeleTok user agent/cookies.

When running TeleTok with env var HTTPX_LOG_LEVEL=debug, with let's say video url: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRJq1M2c/ I get logs like:

DEBUG [2021-12-14 22:36:06] httpx._client - HTTP Request: GET https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRJq1M2c/ "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"
<a href="https://m.tiktok.com/v/6991506151049317634.html?_d=.......LONGHTMLDIDNTPASTEITALL">Moved Permanently</a>.

TeleTok is not able to process these videos. I could not get around this change, would've submitted a PR otherwise.. Hope you can fix it!

Hi

Thank you for informing me about the issue, very much appreciate it. Just checked if my bot can handle this tiktok and seems like it's

So I have researched the error Moved Permanently and I can assume that you have the latest version of httpx library installed. They recently did an update in which you need manually set following_redirects=True to your requests.

I did this change to the code, so you can pull the latest version and check if it's fixed your issue

P.S nice tiktok, btw

Haha, it seems like so! Come to think of it, the bot broke after I did a system upgrade on my box :) Thanks for the quick fix! Much appreciated! This can be closed now.

(ofc a nice test case needed to be inserted :-) )
