If I’m fetching from a server via the Apache client, it follows redirects, but if I connect direct in memory it doesn’t. Is there any existing way (a filter;-) of making in-memory work the same way?

<@U0E2MNCPN> is the http4k-apache client following redirects by default? We usually turn those off so we don't depend on the client-specific implementation

you can make a fake browser by doing
```   val handler = ClientFilters.FollowRedirects()
        .then(ClientFilters.Cookies(storage = cookieStorage()))
        .then(ApacheClient())```
It's how we test oauth flows in memory :slightly_smiling_face:

I don’t suppose there’s a ClientFilters.Cookie Store?

you will also need to put a `reverseProxy` in so that the redirect goes to the "other" handler" if there is one

the short answer is that THERE IS ALWAYS A FILTER (or similar :slightly_smiling_face: )
