Can HtmlUnit handle JavaScript redirects?

Instead of automatically following JavaScript redirects, can I force HtmlUnit to return the URL the JavaScript wants to redirect me to?

// context:

If there's 5 JavaScript redirects in a row, I can only see the URL of the page where it stopped - I can't view the 5 URLs it ran through.

Perhaps I can hook up the logger to a callback method to look for redirects? Not sure if this is possible, or how it would work..

Solution

  • You can do this by adding a WebWindowListener to the WebClient, and waiting for the webWindowContentChanged method to get called.
