Redirects don't change the URL
if a page a link opens redirects to other page, it doesn't show the final url in the url bar ...is there a way to fix that?
There’s currently no way to fix that, sorry.
It’s a limitation of Ajax, it can’t give you the correct URL after a redirect. The solution I have in mind for this problem would be to send a header server-side with the page’s URL. InstantClick would then use that URL.
It still isn’t.
Maybe it’ll be done with a meta tag or something instead of a header, as it’s easier to deal with, and there may be cases where someone doesn’t have control over their header (though I can’t think of one where you have a redirect too, but the fact that it’s easier is reason enough to go that way).
I'm not sure if anything has changed about the XHR api since 2015, but I'm using Chromium on Linux. I fixed the issue by going to line 748, where changePage is being called. I changed $url to $xhr.responseURL. It works perfectly with my server.
I'll submit a pull request if I can confirm it works with all other browsers.
