I have an API (TalkDesk) where when I request a specific report, I need to pass in an Authorization header in my request and then the service will generate the report and respond with a 302 status code which has a Location response header. That Location header contains the link I need to go to in order to bring back the actual report data.
However, in ADF, using a Web Activity, I send my GET request to the API, the API responds, and ADF seems to automatically be following the 302 redirect. When it follows the redirect url, the new url returns an error message because ADF is passing in the original Authorization header and the redirect url responds with "only one Authorization method is allowed". It turns out the redirect url from the Location header comes with an authorization token as a url parameter (X-Amz-Signature).
What I want to do is stop ADF from following the Redirect url so I can capture the original response headers and go to the Location url in a seperate Web Activity.
Is there any way I can tell ADF not to follow Redirects and just give me the original response (vs giving me the response from the second url)?

I have two request in 1st request is giving me 307 redirect along with location header.
I pull Location header from response headers of 1st request and then passed it to second request.
Now 2nd request is giving me 302 every time.
I tried to play with follow request / redirect automatically options in 1st and 2nd request. However it didnt help. I checked both requests shows Https, I checked cache manager it is working fine.
Played with some settings related to Cache Control still issue is occurring.
2nd request is responsible for generating phpsessionid as 'set-cookie' which will only come when 200 OK will happen.
If anyone has any workaround, please assist. Thanks.
As per HTTP Status 302
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 302 Found redirect status response code indicates that the resource requested has been temporarily moved to the URL given by the Location header. A browser redirects to this page but search engines don't update their links to the resource (in 'SEO-speak', it is said that the 'link-juice' is not sent to the new URL).
so my expectation is that you need to play the same trick as with the 1st request, to wit extract the redirect URL from the Location header and add 3rd HTTP Request sampler to hit that URL
In general a "good" JMeter test should behave exactly like a real browser so you should cross-check JMeter's network footprint with what is in the "network" tab of your browser developer tools and amend JMeter's configuration so it would send exactly the same requests as the browser does.
When a client browser receives a 302 response, does the browser modify or ignore any parameters appended to the end of the URL?
For example, I have a server that redirects requests to a different URL but retains any parameters from the original URL and appends to the end of the new redirect URL. However, browser is not including the parameters in the new URL.
For example, if a request comes in to "https://server1.com/path1?filter=value", the redirect server responds with a 302 and "location: https://server2.com/path2?filter=value". But, issue is that the client browser seems to only recognize "https://server2.com/path2".
Should parameter values be tagged a different way in the response?
As noted by Remy Lebeau in the comments to the question, the browser does not modify the location URL in the 302 response. Rather, the issue was caused by the networking in AWS - I was using AWS Lambda to perform the re-direct by reading in the URL on the original request coming in and re-directing according to mapping in the function. First issue was that API gateway was stripping off the query parameters before it was hitting the Lambda function. Second issue was that the function read the "rawPath" attribute from the request, but this does not contain URL query parameters; the query parameters are contained in the "rawQueryString" attribute instead.
I have a big problem. I'm sending a request on postman. Then, the url is redirected. I can see the redirected url in Postman console. But I can't access it from the test tab. I need to access the redirected url because the token is generated here. I can do the same operation using the regular expression extractor in JMeter. But I can't do it in Postman. How can I do this in postman? Can you help me?

You can turn off redirects on a specific request (toggle Automatically follow redirects):
Then you can access the Location header contents through:
pm.response.headers.get('Location')
Following that, you can hit the redirect URL via sendRequest or saving the URL in a Postman variable and using setNextRequest.
I am trying to create a surveymonkey webhook to receive my survey response and i am passing my SugarCRM custom entry point URL as "Subscription Url". But i am getting error " 'mycustomEntryPointUrl' did not return a success status code. Status code is 301". My Entry point is working fine if i run it in browser using its URL also my Sugar is working smoothly.
So, i just want to know any other reason which can cause this error.
Yes so HTTP status code 301 means the page has moved permanently. If you visit it in your browser, for example, you would see a network request to the page specified with a status code of 301, then a second one to the new page. Our API request won't do any redirect, so if a 301 is returned it will raise an error.
This sometimes happens when you go to a page with http and then it redirects to https due to rules on your server.
You also want to make sure your subscription URL supports a HEAD request without any redirect.
I am trying to record a simple login and logout flow for a .Net application. After I submit the login credentials the welcome page's URL has a large alpha numeric number. This number is required to continue to the next steps.
On Fiddler I have noticed that the login credential submission request results in a 302 response and this response contain an a=129characterstring that i need in my subsequent requests.
On JMeter I have added a recording controller and on the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder I have Follow Redirects and Use KeepAlive checked (See below screenshot)
I have also recorded with Follow Redirects unchecked and different options for Grouping and HTTP Sampler Settings.
But with none of them I am able to record/capture the 302 response that i see on fiddler. Instead the login credential submission request always returns a 200 response, even if the login fails.
It is not as if that JMeter is not recording redirect requests, further down the scenario flow I have another redirect request which is captured.
I can't be the only one who is/has faced this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should be doing differently to get the 302 response?
To do this:
Record with default options, the redirect Http Request triggered by 302 will be disabled by default.
Then you will need after this to uncheck "Follow Redirect" in the first one, and add a Regular Expression Post Processor to extract the data you want.
Then enable the commented second request and inject the extracted variable.
