INETS-How to handle redirection

[Sanjaya Vitharana]

Hi...!!!

Many thanks for your quick reply, I have tried with {autoredirect, false}, 
but it fails.

dbg:tracer().
dbg:p(all, [call]).
dbg:tpl(httpc_response, redirect, [{'_', [], [{return_trace}]}]).


I exactly don't know how to handle above 3 commands (where can I found how 
to use the above commands?).

Anyhow what I did is just use this 3 command in erlang emulator window and 
made the http request in the same window. Below I'll copy the full steps 
that I followed. Kindly refer & inform if I am doing anything wrong, so I 
can give you the exact result what you need.

Only chnage that I have made comparing with my implemented code is, i have 
change the Asynchronous request to Synchronous when I use the erlang
emulator.

Furthermore, PHP page has only 1 redirection, & working with the web browser 
(IE) without any problem
