Add a configuration option to retain the HTTP method and body receiving
301 or 302 responses.
Currently we automatically change the method to GET, and remove the
body, before following a 301 or 302. This is compliant with the fetch
specification: https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#http-redirect-fetch
However, it is useful to be able to override this behaviour and retain
the method and body.
Changes
- Add a new struct to encapsulate the (now 4) arguments of the follow
case of the redirect mode
- Add new options `retainHTTPMethodAndBodyOn301` and
`retainHTTPMethodAndBodyOn302`. Defaults to false because thats the
existing behaviour today
- When it is true, do not convert requests to GET after following a
redirect
- Note: this does not affect 307/308 (or any other) redirects. They
always preserve their method
