Windows StageWebView (Edge-based WebView) and 302 redirect

[Mintonist]

Hi!

AIR 51.2.2.6 on Windows.

I use StageWebView for OAuth stuff for one service.
It use http 302 redirect after login to my oauth_redirect_url. Don know why)
But I cant get new "location" (and parse access_code from url) because I have only one trigger of LocationChangeEvent.LOCATION_CHANGE and stageWebView.location equal to initial url before 302 redirect.

It is strange that stageWebView.title is updated and correct.

Is it a bug or I need to detect 302 redirect some special way?

Thx!

Do you have a simple way to test this at all, have you tried a setting up a simple redirect test to isolate that as the issue?

I take my own test with my server: base.html -> 302 -> redirect.html

I log:

1. event = [Event type="complete" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
   stageWebView.title = redirect, stageWebView.location = base.html

2. event = [LocationChangeEvent type="locationChange" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 location="redirect.html"]
   stageWebView.title = redirect, stageWebView.location = redirect.html

It is good!

But with that service (from my init post) I get only 1st "complete" event with location = base.html, no 2nd "locationChange".

Seems I understand a problem!
My redirect url is real 404 (http status 'not found'). Browser/WebView do 302 redirect to it and display new title "404" and new location in url.
So AIR StageWebView doesn't trigger "locationChange" event in this case.

Without 302 redirect I can load and get correct "location" of my 404 page. So other OAuth implementations work fine for me (cause they dont use 302 redirect)

Not sure I quite understand, does it hit a 404 page and then get redirected to the auth? Are you able to setup something similar on your own server?

StageWebView has wrong location in case of loading url, that does 302 redirect to any 404 page.
Example:
URL https://www.gbs.spb.ru/ru/pages/test/ does redirect to https://vigrgames.com/404

Try load https://www.gbs.spb.ru/ru/pages/test/ and see 'location'

Any Browser get right location, StageWebView - wrong...
