What is HTTP POST and HTTP redirect?
Post/Redirect/Get (PRG) is a web development design pattern that lets the page shown after a form submission be reloaded, shared, or bookmarked without ill effects, such as submitting the form another time.
Can you redirect to a Post request?
in response to a POST request. Rather, the RFC simply states that the browser should alert the user and present an option to proceed or to cancel without reposting data to the new location. Unless you write complex server code, you can’t force POST redirection and preserve posted data.
How is a redirect done in an HTTP request?
HTTP redirects are done via HTTP codes 301, and 302 (maybe other codes also) and a header field known as “Location” which has the address of the new place to go. However, browsers always send a “GET” request to that URL. However, many times you need to redirect your user to another domain via POST (bank payments for example).
When to use response.redirect with post instead of get?
Doing this requires understanding how HTTP redirects work. When you use Response.Redirect(), you send a response (to the browser that made the request) with HTTP Status Code 302, which tells the browser where to go next. By definition, the browser will make that via a GET request, even if the original request was a POST.
Is there a way to redirect a post to another site?
Some browsers mitigate this risk by warning the user that they are about to re-issue a POST request. To avoid this problem, many web developers use the PRG pattern —instead of responding with content, the server responds to a POST request by redirecting the client to another location.
When does httpclient-Post Redirect not automatically follow?
By default, only GET requests resulting in a redirect are automatically followed. If a POST requests is answered with either HTTP 301 Moved Permanently or with 302 Found – the redirect is not automatically followed.
