@CthulhuL So you are using res.redirect() eh? I think this is a problem around how api-easy wraps request.

From the request README:

• followRedirect - follow HTTP 3xx responses as redirects. defaults to true.

So by default request is following the redirect and attempting your POST again. I will take a look at the code and see what I can do to expose disabling this.

@CthulhuL I have fixed this in v0.2.2 which is now published to npm. Your updated test should look like this:

suite
    .use('localhost', 3000)
    .setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    .followRedirect(false)
    .discuss('When using the Thread API')
        .post('/thread', {title: 'title-test', author: 'John Doe'})
            .expect(302)
            .next()

Notice the additional .followRedirect(false) which sets { followRedirect: false } in the underlying options which are passed to request.

Excellent, works like a charm - thanks for the fix!

Would be nice if there was some way of being redirected on command, after next(), so a verification on the redirection it self could be made.
