Bug 162580 – [WK2][NetworkSession] Ping requests should follow redirects if applicable

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Daniel Bates]

Ping requests do not follow redirects in WebKit2 with ENABLE(NETWORK_SESSION) enabled. With the exception of violation reports, ping requests should follow redirects per section "Hyperlink auditing" of the HTML standard: <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#hyperlink-auditing>.

Patch does not apply because it depends on the change to class NetworkLoadParameters in the patch for bug #162520.

Committed r206810: <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/206810>

[Daniel Bates]

Renamed test anchor-ping-and-do-not-follow-redirect-when-sending-ping.html to anchor-ping-and-follow-redirect-when-sending-ping.html to reflect what it is actually testing - that we follow a redirect when sending a ping for a <a ping> and modified save-ping-and-redirect-to-save-ping.php to only append the query string if we have a non-empty query string to avoid appending a superfluous "?" on redirect when the query string is the empty string. Committed these changes in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/206813>.
