Error when headers return 'Location' as an app://xxxx although I have set disable redirects about requests

[nateprewitt]

Hi @KenKout, can you please supply the full set of information requested in the ticket template and the complete stacktrace?

What's provided currently is not reproducible.

This works as expected:

import requests
r = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/redirect-to?url=app://test', allow_redirects=False)

From the error, it looks like the location is being parsed at some point, it's not clear where that's happening.

import requests
from requests.structures import CaseInsensitiveDict

url = "https://sandbox.moodledemo.net/login/index.php"
s = requests.Session()
headers = CaseInsensitiveDict()
headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
headers["Origin"] = "https://sandbox.moodledemo.net"
headers["Referer"] = "https://sandbox.moodledemo.net/login/index.php"

resp = s.get(url, headers=headers)

resp = s.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
print(resp.text)

Hi, this is the script, sorry for late response
It works well when I use library httpx

import requests
from requests.structures import CaseInsensitiveDict

url = "https://sandbox.moodledemo.net/login/index.php"
s = requests.Session()
headers = CaseInsensitiveDict()
headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
headers["Origin"] = "https://sandbox.moodledemo.net"
headers["Referer"] = "https://sandbox.moodledemo.net/login/index.php"
headers["User-Agent"] = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/126.0.0.0"


resp = s.get(url, headers=headers)
logintoken = resp.text.split('logintoken" value="')[1].split('"')[0]
data = f"anchor=&logintoken={logintoken}&username=admin&password=sandbox"
resp = s.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
print(resp.text)

import httpx
url = 'https://sandbox.moodledemo.net/admin/tool/mobile/launch.php?service=moodle_mobile_app&passport=1&urlscheme=moodlemobile'
resp = httpx.get(url, headers=headers, cookies=s.cookies)
print(resp.headers)

In case you can't try to recreate the error, it's because moodle sandbox resets every hour
So when you want to try it
Moodle Setting
(username: admin; password: sandbox)
