302 redirect: Headers don't seem to go through on response

[zedle]

I'm trying to setup a 302 redirect from a route. I set the Location header and the status code in the ctx.Response object but the Location header never comes through.

ctx.Response.Headers.Add("Location", authorizationUrl);
ctx.Response.StatusCode = 302;
await ctx.Response.Send();

What am I doing wrong here?

Note I am using the .Lite variant

Hi @zedle it looks correct. I just tested with curl -v http://localhost:8080, and also Chrome, against a change I made to the Test.Default project to implement your code. With normal Watson webserver, it worked great. But yes, you're right the .Lite variant doesn't work the same. It appears there are two differences: 1) the status description is different, and 2) the location header somehow doesn't make it to the output.

WatsonWebserver output (curl):

I will look into this ASAP. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi @zedle I just published v6.1.6 to NuGet to fix this. Thanks for letting me know about the issue! Please re-open if this doesn't solve it for you.

Also I amended the Test.Default project to add a pre-auth static route for /redirect which will provide a status 302 and redirect to https://github.com/dotnet/watsonwebserver.

Works great now, thank you for the quick fix @jchristn !
