René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"RFE: We should catch all 301, 302 redirects","articleBody":"Currently we raise an error if there is a 301, 302 redirect from an `http` URL to an `httpS` URL for any non `GET` methods.\r\n\r\nBut we don't raise an error for any other redirects.\r\n\r\nThis causes two problems:\r\n\r\n1. `PUT` requests that are redirected get changed to `GET` requests which don't perform the correct action but raise no error. This is because the `GET` response succeeds but since it wasn't a `PUT` it doesn't update. This can be seen by updating a user status. It raises no errors but the status does not change. See issue https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/issues/1432\r\n2. `POST` requests blow up with hard to debug tracebacks.  See below. Also see issue https://github.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/issues/1477\r\n\r\n\r\nAn example of attempting to upload an SSH key on a URL that redirects with 302 for the `POST` request:\r\n```\r\nTraceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/base.py\", line 77, in __getattr__\r\n    return self.__dict__[\"_updated_attrs\"][name]\r\nKeyError: '_managers'\r\n\r\nDuring handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:\r\n\r\nTraceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/sources/local/py-gitlab-testing/./tt.py\", line 109, in \u003cmodule\u003e\r\n    sys.exit(main())\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/sources/local/py-gitlab-testing/./tt.py\", line 82, in main\r\n    k = user.keys.create({\"title\": \"My key\", \"key\": SSH_KEY})\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/exceptions.py\", line 287, in wrapped_f\r\n    return f(*args, **kwargs)\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/mixins.py\", line 325, in create\r\n    return self._obj_cls(self, server_data)\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/base.py\", line 62, in __init__\r\n    self._create_managers()\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/base.py\", line 145, in _create_managers\r\n    managers = getattr(self, \"_managers\", None)\r\n  File \"/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/base.py\", line 80, in __getattr__\r\n    value = self.__dict__[\"_attrs\"][name]\r\nTypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/JohnVillalovos","@type":"Person","name":"JohnVillalovos"},"datePublished":"2021-05-30T23:14:26.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/1485/python-gitlab/issues/1485"}
