Dear people,

How do circumnavigate a 301 response? Up to now a 200 was returned and everyone was happy. 

; Creating the object
   $oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")

   $oHTTP.Open("POST", $url, False)
   ;$oHTTP.Open("GET", $address, False)
   ;$oHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

; Performing the Request
   $oHTTP.Send()

; Download the body response if any, and get the server status response code.
   $HTML = $oHTTP.ResponseText
   $oStatusCode = $oHTTP.Status
   log_this("send request response status=" & $oStatusCode)

Now my $HTML string is just:

<html>

<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>

<body bgcolor="white">

<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>

<hr><center>nginx</center>

</body>

</html>

which is rude. Answers on a postcard please.

... is probably a redirection, so you might try to get the headers and look for the new location
Personally as I am extremely lazy, in such cases I use curl which with option -L  does the job for me :idiot:

Switch to the correct URL? 😉

The correct URL is not in the returned HTML. is there a way I can find this out?

It does... I think the site has got clever. On View page source, all the data is there. I assume the HTTP request doesnt carry all the sender info from using actual browser thus the site gives a technical middle finger.

Redirection policy can be set per http object. Default should be to follow redirects but maybe you or someone with enough privileges changed it on system level. Anyway, try it like this: 

Const $WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects = 6

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")

; Check default WinHttpRequestOption redirection setting
$vDefaultSetting = $oHTTP.Option($WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects)
ConsoleWrite("Default setting is: " & $vDefaultSetting & @CRLF)

; Enable redirects
$oHTTP.Option($WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects) = True

; Check current setting
$vCurrentSetting = $oHTTP.Option($WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects)
ConsoleWrite("Current setting is: " & $vCurrentSetting & @CRLF)

$oHTTP.Open("POST", $url, False)
;...
