Can the Ruby HTTPI library be configured to follow redirects?

I am using the Savon library which in turn uses HTTPI, but HTTPI considers only HTTP status codes 200..299 as successful. Unfortunately, the SOAP server I am connecting to uses HTTP 302 Found to redirect its clients to other URLs. Is there a way I can configure HTTPI to follow HTTP redirects?

For anyone coming to this as I did from a Google search. Savon 2.11 supports this with a global configuration value on the client:

follow_redirects: true

Try using the 'follow_redirect= true' on the request object.

    request = HTTPI::Request.new
    request.follow_redirect= true
    ...

Just had this same issue myself.

Reading Wasabi code I found this line, which calls this line, which calls this line, so I think you can resolve with a brutal but effective constant redefinition:

HTTPI::Response::SuccessfulResponseCodes = HTTPI::Response::SuccessfulResponseCodes.to_a << 302

You can safely ignore the constant redefinition warning (you can use Kernel.silence_warnings{ ... }).

Anyway, I suggest you to open an issue to httpi; I think it should be the expected behaviour
