Does it handle redirects?

[Yahav]

So i have a form that if the validation fails will return a redirect to the previous page with the validation errors in a session variable.
I noticed that on redirect it actually redirect the entire page, is there anything to do about that?

Worth to mention that its a redirect from a POST to get.
Attached is a screenshot of what's happening on said redirect

And a screenshot of the events triggered

HTTP Redirections are all handled in fetch by the browser, Pjax only parses the final document without even knowing how many redirections was made - just like you see in the event logs, the response is always the final 200. The redirected property will be true but it won't make any difference as it is of no use to Pjax currently.

And ah, Pjax seems to work fine in your screenshots. If it chose to make a full reload, it won't fire a pjax:success event, and the console is usually cleaned by the browser if a reload was successfully made. If the page is only visually reloaded, I suggest checking if your selectors option being too broad like selecting the whole body, or if any other script in the refreshing part is the one affecting the entire page.

An example for how fetch works and how Pjax uses it:

sequenceDiagram
    Pjax->>Browser: Call fetch with a request to path 1
    Browser->>Server: Send the request to path 1
    loop HTTP Redirections
        Server-->>Browser: Send a redirect response (e.g., 302) to redirect to path N
        Browser-->>Server: Resend the request to path N
    end
    Server->>Browser: Send a 200 response
    Browser->>Pjax: Resolve the fetch with the 200 response
    Pjax->>Pjax: Parse the document in the response

Loading

It shouldn't matter if the request is a GET or a POST, redirected or unredirected, as long as the final response comes with a valid document.

Thanks.
Yeah, since Fetch is handling the requests/redirects that shouldn't be a pjax issue.
Turned out it was a form validation js lib i have which submitted the actual form.
