Hi,
I'm using the latest C# x64 HttpClient 9.5.0.64. After sending POST request I'm reciving 303 redirect. Chilkat follows this redirect but the FinalRedirectUrl is empty (also WasRedirected is false)

Thanks. I'd need to see the contents of the verbose LastErrorText for the method call that sends the POST. (For verbose, set the VerboseLogging property = true.)
After more investigation I have noticed that the problem is another. When I've send POST request and then recive 303 header chilkat redirects to new location and resends all POST data as GET requests. That page recives it and doing action one more time sends 303 one more time, chilkat redirect to new location with POST data as GET... and again and again until reaches max redirects. Chilkat finish at 303 page and FinalRedirectUrl is empty.
So for conclusion - after POST and reciving redirect chilkat should follow Location but don't send that data again? It is like browsers work - they send data and than doing simple GET request wihout data. At the moment I'm cleaning HttpRequest with OnRedirect method - but maybe this will be changed in chilkat?
