Summary

  • preserve RequestInit.redirect through HIR and native, JavaScript, and WebAssembly code generation
  • select pooled follow or no-redirect clients for follow, manual, and error, including proxy clients and the alternate perry-ext-fetch runtime
  • report the final response URL and redirected state, and inherit redirect mode from fetch(Request)
  • reject redirect responses in error mode with a TypeError

Closes #10474.

Verification

  • cargo check -p perry -p perry-hir -p perry-codegen -p perry-codegen-js -p perry-codegen-wasm -p perry-runtime -p perry-stdlib -p perry-ext-fetch
  • cargo test -p perry-hir
  • focused runtime, stdlib, and extension redirect tests

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for fetch redirect modes: follow, manual, and error.
    • Followed redirects now report the final URL and set response.redirected.
    • Manual redirects return the redirect response with its Location header.
    • Error mode rejects redirected responses with a TypeError.
    • fetch(Request) now honors the request’s configured redirect mode.
    • Request bodies preserve non-text binary data during POST requests.

CI note

The Public benchmark evidence freshness lint gate is already failing on the base commit (f5cfbff) on main: https://github.com/PerryTS/perry/actions/runs/35788057425/job/106949861765. The workflow documents that artifact as maintainer-owned and release-refreshed; this PR does not regenerate it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds fetch redirect-mode support for follow, manual, and error. It propagates RequestInit.redirect through HIR, code generation, runtime state, and fetch implementations. Responses now expose redirect metadata, and fetch(Request) inherits the Request redirect mode.

Changes

Fetch redirect handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
HIR redirect option
crates/perry-hir/src/ir/expr.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/..., crates/perry-hir/src/walker/..., crates/perry-hir/src/stable_hash/..., crates/perry-hir/tests/...
FetchWithOptions stores an optional redirect expression. Lowering supports literal and shorthand redirect properties. Walkers, stable hashing, fixtures, and lowering tests include the new field.
Compiler redirect propagation
crates/perry-codegen/src/..., crates/perry-codegen-js/src/..., crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/...
Collectors visit redirect expressions. JavaScript and WASM emitters pass redirect values through fetch options. The WASM runtime import accepts the fifth argument.
Runtime redirect state
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_fetch.rs
Pending fetch state stores signal and redirect mode together. Redirect strings map to numeric modes, invalid values map to an error code, and consumption resets the mode.
Standard-library fetch behavior
crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/mod.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/request_handle.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/abort_bridge.rs, crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/tests.rs
Fetch resolves redirect modes from init or Request data, selects follow or no-redirect clients, rejects error-mode redirects with a TypeError, and records final URL and redirected metadata. Tests cover follow, manual, and error behavior.
Extension fetch redirect handling
crates/perry-ext-fetch/src/lib.rs, crates/perry-ext-fetch/src/tests.rs, changelog.d/11066-fetch-redirect.md
The extension applies redirect-specific clients and error handling, preserves response metadata, reads POST bodies as bytes, and supports redirect modes for fetch(Request). The changelog records the behavior.

Overview Redirection status codes allow us to redirect users and search engines from one URL to another, indicating the nature of the redirect and whether it is temporary or permanent. In this tutorial, we’ll discuss redirection status codes 301, 302, 307, and 308. We’ll also learn the differences between them and how they can impact the user experience, search engine rankings, and the overall success of the website. ## 2. What Are Redirection Status Codes? HTTP status codes are numerical codes that a client, such as a web browser, receives from the server to indicate the status of a request. We can categorize them based on the first digit of the code. The redirection status codes fall under the 3xx category. These codes indicate that a requested resource has been moved to a new location, and the client should direct their request to the new location. There are several types of redirection status codes, including 301, 302, 307, and 308. Each of these serves a specific purpose and has its own set of rules. Understanding these codes is important for maintaining the integrity of the website and providing a good user experience. ## 3. 301 Redirection A 301 redirect is a permanent redirect that tells clients that a requested resource has permanently moved to a new location. This is a common type of redirect that we can use after permanently shifting the resource. For example, if we have a website with multiple pages that all contain the same information, we might want to consolidate all of that information onto a single page and use a 301 redirect to send users and search engines to the new location. This can help improve the user experience and search engine rankings, as it avoids duplication of content and allows search engines to index the most current and relevant version of the resource. ## 4. 302 Redirection A 302 redirect is a temporary redirect. This tells clients that a requested resource has been temporarily moved to a new location. This type of redirect is typically used when a resource is temporarily unavailable or has been temporarily moved for maintenance or other reasons. For example, we are performing maintenance on the website and need to take it offline for a short period of time. In such cases, we’ll use a 302 redirect to send users to a temporary page. Since we’re using a 302 redirect, it indicates that the website will be back online soon. This allows the user to keep the same URL structure and search engine rankings. It’s worth noting that a 302 redirect is distinct from a 301 redirect. 301 redirects indicate that the requested resource has been permanently moved to a new location. A 302 redirect tells the client that the original location may become available again in the future, and the client should continue to use the original URL for future requests. ## 5. 307 Redirection A 307 redirect is another type of temporary redirect that we can use when the requested resource has been temporarily moved to a new location. There’s a slight difference between 302 and 307 redirects. Both indicate that a resource has been temporarily moved to a new location. However, 307 does not allow changing the request method from POST to GET. For instance, we have a form that uses the POST method and allows users to submit information or make a purchase. Now, we can use a 307 redirect to temporarily redirect users to a different page while processing the form. In this case, by using 307, we also instruct the client that it can’t switch the request method to GET when accessing the new resource. On the other hand, if we’re planning maintenance on the website, we’ll need to take it offline for some time and may want to direct users to a static page... <title>HTTP Redirect Guide | Redirect Tracer</title> https://redirecttrace.com/guides/http-redirect-guide ## The redirect status codes ... The HTTP specification defines five redirect status codes in the 3xx range that are commonly used on the web. [2] Each one tells the browser something different about the nature of the move. ... ### 301 Moved Permanently ... A 301 tells the browser and search engines that this URL has permanently moved to a new location. Browsers cache 301 redirects aggressively, and search engines transfer ranking signals from the old URL to the new one. [3] ... One important detail: the HTTP spec says browsers may change the request method from POST to GET when following a 301. In practice, most browsers do. If you need to preserve the request method, use a 308 instead. ... ### 302 Found (Temporary Redirect) ... A 302 tells the browser that the URL has temporarily moved. The browser follows the redirect but does not cache it as aggressively, and search engines keep the old URL in their index. [4] ... The most common mistake with 302 is using it when you mean 301. If the move is permanent, a 302 tells search engines to keep indexing the old URL, splitting your ranking signals between two pages. See What Is a 302 Redirect? for common scenarios. ... ### 303 See Other ... A 303 tells the browser to fetch the new URL using a GET request, regardless of the original request method. This is typically used after a form submission to prevent the user from resubmitting the form if they hit the back button. [2] ... 303 is ... relevant for SEO ... URL changes. ... ### 307 Temporary Redirect ... A 307 is like a 302, but with one critical difference: it guarantees the browser will not change the request method. If the original request was a POST, the browser will POST to the new URL too. [2] ... ### 308 Permanent Redirect ... A 308 is the permanent equivalent of 307. It tells the browser that the URL has permanently moved and the request method must not change. [5] ... Use 308 when: ... a permanent redirect ... In practice, most website redirects use 301. 308 is primarily useful for APIs and applications where method preservation matters. It was introduced in RFC 7538 specifically to fill the gap where 301 did not guarantee method preservation. [5] See 308 Permanent Redirect Explained for details. ... ### How to choose the right status code ... The decision tree is straightforward: ... 1. Is the move permanent or temporary? ... - Permanent → 301 or 308 - Temporary → 302, 303, or 307 ... 2. Does the request method need to be preserved? ... - Yes (APIs, POST requests) → 307 (temporary) or 308 (permanent) - No (standard page redirects) → 301 (permanent) or 302 (temporary) ... 3. Is this after a form submission? ... - Yes → 303 ... When in doubt, use 301 for permanent moves and 302 for temporary ones. You will be right the vast majority of the time. ... ### Quick reference ... | Code | Name | Permanent? | Preserves method? | SEO transfers signals? | |------|------|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 301 | Moved Permanently | Yes | No (may change to GET) | Yes | | 302 | Found | No | No (may change to GET) | No (keeps old URL) | | 303 | See Other | No | No (always GET) | N/A | | 307 | Temporary Redirect | No | Yes | No (keeps old URL) | | 308 | Permanent Redirect | Yes | Yes | Yes | ... 08 — ... 7 — for ...

Common causes include: ... licting redirect rules ... to HTTPS, ... - Load balancer terminating ... 301 and 308 redirects pass full ranking signals (historically called "PageRank") to the destination URL. Google has confirmed that no ranking signal is lost through a 301 redirect. [8] This was not always the case: before 2016, Google applied a small dampening factor to redirected signals, but this is no longer true. ... 302 and 307 redirects do not transfer ranking signals by default because they signal a temporary move.

Introduction HTTP defines a set of status codes for the purpose of redirecting a request to a different URI ([RFC3986]). The history of these status codes is summarized in Section 6.4 of [RFC7231], which also classifies the existing status codes into four categories. The first of these categories contains the status codes 301 (Moved Permanently), 302 (Found), and 307 (Temporary Redirect), which can be classified as below: +-------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ | | Permanent | Temporary | +-------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ | Allows changing the request method from | 301 | 302 | | POST to GET | | | | Does not allow changing the request | - | 307 | | method from POST to GET | | | +-------------------------------------------+-----------+-----------+ Section 6.4.7 of [RFC7231] states that it does not define a permanent variant of status code 307; this specification adds the status code 308, defining this missing variant (Section 3). This specification contains no technical changes from the Experimental RFC 7238, which it obsoletes. ... 3. 308 Permanent Redirect The 308 (Permanent Redirect) status code indicates that the target resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any future references to this resource ought to use one of the enclosed URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities ought to automatically re-link references to the effective request URI (Section 5.5 of [RFC7230]) to one or more of the new references sent by the server, where possible. The server SHOULD generate a Location header field ([RFC7231], Section 7.1.2) in the response containing a preferred URI reference for the new permanent URI. The user agent MAY use the Location field value for automatic redirection. The server&`#39`;s response payload usually contains a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s). A 308 response is cacheable by default; i.e., unless otherwise indicated by the method definition or explicit cache controls (see [RFC7234], Section 4.2.2). Note: This status code is similar to 301 (Moved Permanently) ([RFC7231], Section 6.4.2), except that it does not allow changing the request method from POST to GET. ... 4. Deployment ConsiderationsSection 6 of [RFC7231] requires recipients to treat unknown 3xx status codes the same way as status code 300 (Multiple Choices) ([RFC7231], Section 6.4.1). Thus, servers will not be able to rely on automatic redirection happening similar to status codes 301, 302, or 307. Therefore, the use of status code 308 is restricted to cases where the server has sufficient confidence in the client&`#39`;s understanding the new code or when a fallback to the semantics of status code 300 is not problematic. Server implementers are advised not to vary the status code based on characteristics of the request, such as the User-Agent header field ("User-Agent Sniffing") -- doing so usually results in code that is both hard to maintain and hard to debug and would also require special attention to caching (i.e., setting a "Vary" response header field, as defined in Section 7.1.4 of [RFC7231]). ... RFC 7538 HTTP Status Code 308 April 2015 Note that many existing HTML-based user agents will emulate a refresh when encountering an HTML <meta> refresh directive ([HTML], Section 4.2.5.3). This can be used as another fallback. For example: Client request: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Server response: HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Location: http://example.com/new Content-Length: 356 <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Permanent Redirect</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com/new"> </head> <body> <p> The document has been moved to <a href="http://example.com/new" >http://example.com/new</a>. </p> </body> </html> ... All security co…[truncated] <title>Result 5</title> https://http.dev/redirects A redirection response carries a [[status#3xx-redirection|3xx]] status code and a [[location|Location]] header pointing to the target resource. When a browser or crawler receives this response, a second request goes out to the URL specified in [[location|Location]]. ... ### 301 Moved Permanently ... [[301]] is the most widely used permanent redirect. The response is cacheable by default. Clients are permitted to change the request method from [[post|POST]] to [[get|GET]] when following a [[301]] redirect, and most browsers do exactly this. ... ### 308 Permanent Redirect ... [[308]] works like [[301]] but preserves the original request method. This status code was introduced to fill a gap: there was no permanent redirect guaranteeing method preservation. [[308]] is now part of the core HTTP semantics. A [[post|POST]] request redirected with [[308]] remains a [[post|POST]] at the target URL. ... Choose [[308]] over [[301]] when the original ... request method matters. API endpoints and form ... submissions relying on [[post|POST]], [[put|PUT]], or [[patch|PATCH]] need [[308]] ... to prevent the client from switching to [[get|GET]]. ... ### 302 Found ... [[302]] is the original temporary redirect. The [[1.0|HTTP/1.0]] specification did not clearly define whether clients must preserve the request method. In practice, most clients change [[post|POST]] to [[get|GET]] when following a [[302]]. To remove this ambiguity, [[303]] and [[307]] were introduced. ... ### 303 See Other ... [[303]] tells the client to retrieve the redirect target using [[get|GET]], regardless of the original request method. A common use case is redirecting after a form submission: the server processes the [[post|POST]], then responds with [[303]] pointing to a confirmation page the client fetches with [[get|GET]]. ... ### 307 Temporary Redirect ... [[307]] works like [[302]] but guarantees method preservation. A [[post|POST]] stays a [[post|POST]] at the redirect target.

Match only Fetch redirect statuses.

StatusCode::is_redirection() matches every status from 300 through 399. In error mode, a 304 Not Modified response with a Location header can therefore be rejected even though Fetch does not classify 304 as a redirect. Match only 301, 302, 303, 307, and 308, and add a regression test for 304 with Location.

Preserve RequestInit for non-literal options.

When fetch(url, init) uses a non-object expression, the object-literal branch is skipped. The fallback creates FetchWithOptions with redirect: None, so init.redirect is not preserved. Preserve the dynamic RequestInit values or reject this call form instead of lowering it as fetch(url).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle inline short redirect strings.

JSValue::is_string() rejects inline short strings such as "error". The function therefore stores mode -1, and the fetch consumer rejects that mode with a TypeError. This is a functional correctness issue, not a stability issue.

Use is_any_string() and str_bytes_from_jsvalue to support both heap and inline strings.

Suggested fix
         let value = crate::value::JSValue::from_bits(redirect.to_bits());
-        if !value.is_string() {
+        if !value.is_any_string() {
             -1

This can no longer apply against main: the perry-ext-fetch crate it edits was deleted, consolidated into crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/. A rebase conflicts as delete-vs-modify on crates/perry-ext-fetch/src/lib.rs and crates/perry-ext-fetch/src/tests.rs, plus a live conflict in crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/mod.rs.

The redirect-mode and response-metadata fix is still wanted — it needs porting into crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/. The logic should transplant; it is the location that moved.

This is also a fork PR, so a maintainer cannot push the rebase on your behalf. Sorry for the churn — the consolidation came in with #10354's turnloop migration.

Heads-up: #11101 (tokio lane G) deletes perry-stdlib's reqwest fetch fallback. This PR adds code to that path, so the two will conflict. The turnloop engine already decompresses responses; redirect modes map onto one field in turnloop_bridge::dispatch. Whichever lands second should re-target the engine path.

Global fetch ignores the redirect option ('manual'/'error' still follow) and never sets response.redirected/response.url after a redirect
