Basic Auth: Redirect doesn't work

inancgumus commented 1 year ago

Brief summary

The module doesn't let a target page redirect to another page, whether that page is basic-auth protected or not. This issue happens only when we set the httpCredentials option.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Use the following script:

import { sleep } from 'k6';
import { browser } from 'k6/x/browser';

export const options = {
  scenarios: {
    ui: {
      executor: 'shared-iterations',
      options: {
        browser: {
          type: 'chromium',
        }
      },
    },
  }
}

export default async function () {
  const page = browser.newPage({
    "httpCredentials": {
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "password",
    }
  });

  try {
    await page.goto('http://localhost:81/static/redirect.html');
    sleep(5);
  } finally {
    page.close();
  }
}

Run a server with the following static content (at URL http://localhost:81/static/redirect.html):

<html>
<body>
    test redirect
    <script>
        document.location = "http://localhost:81/";
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Run the script.

Expected behaviour

The browser module should redirect to http://localhost:81/.

Actual behaviour

The browser module goes to http://localhost:81/static/redirect.html, but it doesn't let the page redirect to http://localhost:81/.
The behavior is the same if we redirect to a basic-auth protected page http://localhost:81/protected, instead of http://localhost:81/.
The module redirects if we omit the httpCredentials option from the script.

Any update?

@mridiniveni This isn't our near-term goal.

Please give the issue description (above) a thumbs-up. So we can prioritize it.
