class RedirectAgent: (source)
Known subclasses: twisted.web.client.BrowserLikeRedirectAgent
Implements interfaces: twisted.web.iweb.IAgent
An Agent
wrapper which handles HTTP redirects.
The implementation is rather strict: 301 and 302 behaves like 307, not redirecting automatically on methods different from GET and HEAD.
See BrowserLikeRedirectAgent
for a redirecting Agent that behaves more like a web browser.
