Override "automatically follow redirects" for single requests

Hi all,

In the settings I´ve turned “automatically follow redirects” off, since this is what I need in 99 % of the cases.
Now I have single requests, where I want to automatically follow the redirect, is there a solution to that, maybe something in the pre-request script?

Many thanks,
Christian

Did you find a way Christian?

No, Unfortunately not.

Hey @chrissbaumann :wave:

Just wanted to confirm the question here as I wasn’t quite understanding it :smiley:

We have the "Automatically follow redirects” option in the general settings but also in the request settings tab.

Are those what you were previously using?

Hey Danny!

Didn’t know about the settings on the request itself.
Those can be used to override the general settings for that request?

Is it possible to do this in a pre-request script? I need to follow redirects for all but 1 call, so I want to have follow redirects turned on in settings but override it for 1 call in the pre-request script.

Hey @penguin-sama :wave:

It’s not currently possible to set that programmatically in the script sandbox for an individual request.

Is this a feature that is on the roadmap? It would be great to have the ability to override the general setting.
