Issues extracting details from HTTP redirects

Grafana k6
1

Hello,

I have a session cookie provided with the POST response, however, it is a HTTP 302 (redirect). I am trying to find-between, however, I cannot extract the session value to further propagate it in requests. When I --http-debug=“full”, however, I see the data of interest. How do I extract response header value from HTTP redirects?

Regards,
Gavin

Hi @gavindelatour ,
You can add {redirect: 0} param to the http request.
Here is an example, I hope it helps:

import http from 'k6/http';

var url = "http://test.k6.io"  // redirected to https
export default function () {
  var res;
  res = http.get(url);
  console.log(res.status_text);  // prints "200 OK"
  res = http.get(url, {redirects:0});
  console.log(res.status_text);  // prints "308 Permanent Redirect"
}
