I am using Postman to submit request. Server responds with 

HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: https://services.****.com/*/***/ed36317f-8d77-4d62-9926-f9700bee9b6c
Server: ****
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 0

Postman follows this redirect. I wish to see this new request in Postman console. Can someone tell me how I can view how Postman formed new request?

  • https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/4474 I see comment from Postman team "I do see the value in showing intermediate requests in the Console directly though, so I'm going to add this as a feature request :)" – Datha Apr 23 '18 at 05:05
  • You can see in the Postman console as described in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60972054/how-to-view-the-redirection-chain-in-postman – rsc Feb 13 '23 at 15:27

In Settings, turn off "Automatically follow redirects".

Automatically follow redirects: Prevent requests that return a 300-series response from being automatically redirected.

from https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/launching_postman/settings

    Thanks, this is what I just needed as I can't see the authorization code being generated by Apigee as it automatically redirects to the site already with the code appended on the callback URL. But I can't see the callback url in postman. Doing this allowed me to see the callback url and the appdended authorization code in postmans header tab after sending the request. :) – iamjoshua Jul 09 '19 at 09:24

    It doesn't follow redirects alright, but then I have to manually follow the redirects myself by updating the target endpoint. I wish it would follow redirects automatically *_and_** also show all the redirects follow in the response, similar to how Chrome does in Developer Tools Network tab. – Jose Quijada Mar 28 '21 at 15:20

    @JoseQuijada, you can check the outgoing requests in the `console` tab in postman's footer. – ssi-anik Mar 03 '22 at 16:08

You can see how Postman follows the redirects in the console in the footer as shown in the picture:
