Motivation
If we follow a redirect which changes the origin e.g. from
127.0.0.1
tolocalhost
we didn't change theHost
header to the appropriate new origin and port combination.Changes
Use the original request which does not include the host instead of the prepared request to form a new request to the redirect URL.
Alternatives
If the user defines a
Host
header themselves on the originalHTTPClientRequest
we currently never touch it, even in the redirect case. Maybe we should change our strategy and do one of the following:Host
headerHost
header on redirect and set it to the new origin and port combination
