Redirect problems

Unsupported redirect type

The website answered with a 3xx code that is not a normal redirect.

Quick answer

We follow the standard redirects 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308. This site used a different 3xx code, so it gave no clear next step for us. Your browser may also show the page without moving on.

When to wait: Waiting will not change the response type.
