Hi there,

I am using a http input and receive multiple redirects (http 302) after calling my endpoint. The redirects are (when executed through browser) providing certain cookies. I want to be able to access / index those cookies. However, when I run the watcher, I am only able to access the payload of the last call. Is there any possibility to access the payloads of the intermediate / redirecting calls or avoid redirects?

Thanks  
Andreas

Hey,

sorry, but there is no such mechanism at the moment, you will always end up with data from the last request.
