Question

Probably I’m doing something wrong but:

In my browser I have a code

window.location = '/some/url' 

or element with href=”/some url”

in node (express.js) I have following route handler:

app.get('/some/url', function(req, res){
    res.redirect('http://www.google.com')
});

Content of the page is loaded with strange flaw Google page. And address bar is not changed (http://localhost:3000/some/url).

I’m making request via intermediate server using
req.pipe(request(host + req.url)).pipe(res) and it seems that piped res does not redirect properly. Any ideas how to solve it?

Answer 1

I needed to use {folllowRedirect: false} option for reqest.js
