RFE: We should catch all 301, 302 redirects #1485

Closed

Description

@JohnVillalovos

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.

But we don't raise an error for any other redirects.

This causes two problems:

  1. 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 Changing milestone of issue does not work #1432
  2. POST requests blow up with hard to debug tracebacks. See below. Also see issue Not possible to create note in issue #1477

An example of attempting to upload an SSH key on a URL that redirects with 302 for the POST request:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jlvillal/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/gitlab/base.py", line 77, in __getattr__
    return self.__dict__["_updated_attrs"][name]
KeyError: '_managers'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
