Hi All,

Im working on a customer connector, the api its calling returns a redirect from any post url. The redirect url is returned in a "location" header with the 302 response. Is there a way to get the custom connector to follow the redirect (like Postman does)?

thank you

If successful, this method returns a 302 Found response that redirects to a preauthenticated download URL for the report. That URL can be found in the Location header in the response.
Preauthenticated download URLs are only valid for a short period of time (a few minutes) and do not require an Authorization header.

Hi @YogeshMurugn ,

Sorry but I don't understand how this solves my issue, your response looks like a copy and paste from Microsoft Learn https://learn.microsoft.com › api › r... getOneDriveActivityFileCounts - Microsoft Graph v1.0 , which is just an example of my API setup not a solution to custom connectors using it

Thank you

Thank you for help but I still don't see how a paragraph from a article about graph API can help my issue with a custom connector that does not use the graph API.
Would you be able to explain how it does and how that would allow the connector to auto follow the URL.

Thank you again for your support.

Hi @YogeshMurugn ,

I see so you mean to catch the error and then do another http call with the location url. I did this with 2 http actions, but it is not user friendly, i wanted it in one action so that anyone could use it. Is it possible to get the connector to handle it properly, like Postman does?

I was wondering if custom code could but I don't know c# so have no idea?

thank you

I managed to create some c# code (with a little help from copilot) that works.
