Create optimal cross-platform development experience via browserify. about follow-redirects HOT 2 CLOSED

I like this. I personally use https://github.com/sindresorhus/got quite heavily and it follows redirects. But it's not 100% identical when browserified and I think there's room for a module that is and sits at a lower level.

Issue #12 needs to be fixed.

Done.

Also related to #12, we currently always perform a GET on redirection, even if the original request was a POST or otherwise. This is the correct response in most situations, but (I believe) not all.

Done.

If we encounter a 3XX status code without a Location header, we do not throw an error, but return the result to the registered callback.

This is in accordance with the HTTP spec, so I wouldn't change.

Make all this configurable.

I opted to make the library more simple instead. It only performs redirects, and this behavior can be switched off by setting the followRedirects option to false.

We should do all this while still maintaining API compatibility with the core modules (nodes native http and browserify-http, etc).

Check.

Be as lightweight on the client side as possible.
