utilities/auto-blog-link-preserver#7: Don't follow 302 when submitting URLs

Issue Information

Issue Type: issue
Status: closed
Reported By: btasker

Description

When a URL is submitted via the UI, ArchiveBox serves up a 302 redirecting the browser onto a page.

"POST /add/ HTTP/1.1" 200 3593
"GET /add/ HTTP/1.1" 200 7075

We don't need to follow that.

In fact, more than that, we don't want to follow it because it sometimes hangs rather than responding.

Closing as Invalid - I was having a brain-fart.

That GET isn't us following a redirect, it's the next request scraping the CSRF token.

Reckon it might be time to stop and do something else for a bit :)
