How do I disallow redirects in HTTP requests?

I think that having forced redirects allowed is a security risk where the third party can redirect to something malicious, making the experience vulnerable.
For example:

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
print(HttpService:RequestAsync({
	Url="https://httpbin.org/redirect/2",
	Method="GET"
}))

The result won’t say if the request was redirected, is there a way to send a HTTP request without allowing redirects? Like the result would be just status code like 302 and show the location header in the response headers.

I’m trying to find somebody else on the internet who has mentioned this problem, but it seems like this thread is the only one… This needs to be made possible.

I’ve seen this before.. Seems the post was removed. The solution was.
Server-side proxy

What really ticks me off about the stupid automatic redirecting is that it doesn’t even change the response body, so there’s absolutely no way to get the end result. :frowning:
