Following Redirects #10

Closed dasrecht closed 12 years ago

dasrecht commented 12 years ago

Sometimes websites which are monitored redirect from one page to another

e.g. http://www.demosite.com redirects to http://www.demosite.com/foo

As we do not follow the redirects we get a connect ECONNREFUSED back

In my opinion this would be cool to have a checkbox to enable this

Regards

Bastian

That's very strange, because redirects are normally handled by https://github.com/fzaninotto/uptime/blob/master/lib/pollers/http.js#L56.

I'll investigate further.

Humm you are right...

I tried it with http://httpstat.us/301 or http://httpstat.us/302 and this works

so probably it's a webserver config...

as far as i can see curl -vvvv is properly giving reply

Shouldn't the location contain a slash or the host?
