  1. ## Follow Redirects
  2. Drop-in replacement for Node's `http` and `https` modules that automatically follows redirects.
  3. [![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/follow-redirects.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/follow-redirects)
  4. [![Build Status](https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects/actions)
  5. [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/follow-redirects/follow-redirects/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/follow-redirects/follow-redirects?branch=master)
  6. [![npm downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/follow-redirects.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/follow-redirects)

  8. `follow-redirects` provides [request](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback) and [get](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_get_options_callback)
  9. methods that behave identically to those found on the native [http](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback) and [https](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_options_callback)
  10. modules, with the exception that they will seamlessly follow redirects.
  11. ```javascript
  12. const { http, https } = require('follow-redirects');
  13. http.get('http://bit.ly/900913', response => {
  14. response.on('data', chunk => {
  15. console.log(chunk);
  16. });
  17. }).on('error', err => {
  18. console.error(err);
  19. });
  20. ```
  21. You can inspect the final redirected URL through the `responseUrl` property on the `response`.
  22. If no redirection happened, `responseUrl` is the original request URL.
  23. ```javascript
  24. const request = https.request({
  25. host: 'bitly.com',
  26. path: '/UHfDGO',
  27. }, response => {
  28. console.log(response.responseUrl);
  29. // 'http://duckduckgo.com/robots.txt'
  30. });
  31. request.end();
  32. ```
  33. ## Options
  34. ### Global options
  35. Global options are set directly on the `follow-redirects` module:
  36. ```javascript
  37. const followRedirects = require('follow-redirects');
  38. followRedirects.maxRedirects = 10;
  39. followRedirects.maxBodyLength = 20 * 1024 * 1024; // 20 MB
  40. ```
  41. The following global options are supported:
  42. - `maxRedirects` (default: `21`) sets the maximum number of allowed redirects; if exceeded, an error will be emitted.
  43. - `maxBodyLength` (default: 10MB) sets the maximum size of the request body; if exceeded, an error will be emitted.
  44. ### Per-request options
  45. Per-request options are set by passing an `options` object:
  46. ```javascript
  47. const url = require('url');
  48. const { http, https } = require('follow-redirects');
  49. const options = url.parse('http://bit.ly/900913');
  50. options.maxRedirects = 10;
  51. options.beforeRedirect = (options, { headers }) => {
  52. // Use this to adjust the request options upon redirecting,
  53. // to inspect the latest response headers,
  54. // or to cancel the request by throwing an error
  55. if (options.hostname === "example.com") {
  56. options.auth = "user:password";
  57. }
  58. };
  59. http.request(options);
  60. ```
  61. In addition to the [standard HTTP](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback) and [HTTPS options](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_options_callback),
  62. the following per-request options are supported:
  63. - `followRedirects` (default: `true`) whether redirects should be followed.
  64. - `maxRedirects` (default: `21`) sets the maximum number of allowed redirects; if exceeded, an error will be emitted.
  65. - `maxBodyLength` (default: 10MB) sets the maximum size of the request body; if exceeded, an error will be emitted.
  66. - `beforeRedirect` (default: `undefined`) optionally change the request `options` on redirects, or abort the request by throwing an error.
  67. - `agents` (default: `undefined`) sets the `agent` option per protocol, since HTTP and HTTPS use different agents. Example value: `{ http: new http.Agent(), https: new https.Agent() }`
  68. - `trackRedirects` (default: `false`) whether to store the redirected response details into the `redirects` array on the response object.
  69. ### Advanced usage
  70. By default, `follow-redirects` will use the Node.js default implementations
  71. of [`http`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html)
  72. and [`https`](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html).
  73. To enable features such as caching and/or intermediate request tracking,
  74. you might instead want to wrap `follow-redirects` around custom protocol implementations:
  75. ```javascript
  76. const { http, https } = require('follow-redirects').wrap({
  77. http: require('your-custom-http'),
  78. https: require('your-custom-https'),
  79. });
  80. ```
  81. Such custom protocols only need an implementation of the `request` method.
  82. ## Browser Usage
  83. Due to the way the browser works,
  84. the `http` and `https` browser equivalents perform redirects by default.
  85. By requiring `follow-redirects` this way:
  86. ```javascript
  87. const http = require('follow-redirects/http');
  88. const https = require('follow-redirects/https');
  89. ```
  90. you can easily tell webpack and friends to replace
  91. `follow-redirect` by the built-in versions:
  92. ```json
  93. {
  94. "follow-redirects/http" : "http",
  95. "follow-redirects/https" : "https"
  96. }
  97. ```
  98. ## Contributing
  99. Pull Requests are always welcome. Please [file an issue](https://github.com/follow-redirects/follow-redirects/issues)
  100. detailing your proposal before you invest your valuable time. Additional features and bug fixes should be accompanied
  101. by tests. You can run the test suite locally with a simple `npm test` command.
  102. ## Debug Logging
  103. `follow-redirects` uses the excellent [debug](https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug) for logging. To turn on logging
  104. set the environment variable `DEBUG=follow-redirects` for debug output from just this module. When running the test
  105. suite it is sometimes advantageous to set `DEBUG=*` to see output from the express server as well.
