Prevent redirects

[uzhas-sovka]

How can I prevent redirects?
httpConfigRedirectCount = 1 -- single redirect, OK.
httpConfigRedirectCount = 0 -- zero redirects and Exception.
Can I ban redirects and avoid exception?..

My goal is to get "Location" header, it's present in response to first request. http-client reportedly holds all history of redirects, but it's strange to make 5 requests consequently with Req and the last with other tool.

Mark, thanks for your library, I managed to get it working. "Get it working" means not the quality of library, it's beyond questions, but the lack of my Haskell skills.

I suppose you're talking about withResponseHistory. Indeed, there is nothing like that in Req.

I lack time to work on this.

I'd like to narrow the question, as was mentioned in initial post: can we prevent redirects and avoid exception?.. No need to hold all history.

If you want to get the "Location" header for the redirect after the first request, I think you can set the redirect count to 0 and handle the exception to extract the data from the response with the exception.
