Hi All,

I am using libcurl for one of my projects in which we are using the
"easy perform" operation.

As a part of our flow we need to connect to an URL which is LDAP
authenticated. Authentication is controlled using a Cookie.

When I try connecting to the ACTUAL URL for the first time, since Cookie
is not there, it redirects me to the LOGIN URL and I was using the logic
of checking the "Redirect Count" to see if I am getting redirected it
means I am not authenticated and then I was explicitly making a second
call to the LOGIN URL with the required details.

When I try the same thing by using POST DATA with the call to the Actual
URL, somehow the link is not getting redirected and I am getting
"redirect count as "0" and my code assumes that it got authenticated.
The message I could see is "This page is being used to hold your POST
DATA. It should get redirected automatically , otherwise click redirect
button."

Is there a way I can by pass that setting of holding data or can I can
automatically call the redirect button?

Please help me know how to check for the condition where I can check
that the call to actual URL is successful or not. I also tried using
"Response Code" value for 302 (failure case) and 200(success case). But
in above scenario it always returns me 200.

Is there any other code/option that I need to check to address this.

Please help as this is critical for me and I am stuck only at this
point.

Note: You can consider that in SUCCESS scenario for ACTUAL URL, we need
to pass some POST Data and it returns a static page and will never
redirect.

Thanks

Atul
