I see. Automatically following redirects requires the XHR implementation to know that the method is safe (that can be done only using a white list). BTW: following redirects can be tricky if the method has a request body, it requires that the XHR implementation keeps a copy of it for re-transmission (MSXML gets this wrong). I'm not sure about authentication challenges? Where's the dependency on the actual method? Best regards, Julian
