+HTTP redirects
+==============
+
+By default, Guzzle will automatically follow redirects using the non-RFC compliant implementation used by most web
+browsers. This means that redirects for POST requests are followed by a GET request. You can force RFC compliance by
+enabling the strict mode on a request's parameter object:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ // Set per request
+ $request = $client->post();
+ $request->getParams()->set('redirect.strict', true);
+
+ // You can set globally on a client so all requests use strict redirects
+ $client->getConfig()->set('request.params', array(
+ 'redirect.strict' => true
+ ));
+
+By default, Guzzle will redirect up to 5 times before throwing a ``Guzzle\Http\Exception\TooManyRedirectsException``.
+You can raise or lower this value using the ``redirect.max`` parameter of a request object:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ $request->getParams()->set('redirect.max', 2);
+
+Redirect history
+----------------
+
+You can get the number of redirects of a request using the resulting response object's ``getRedirectCount()`` method.
+Similar to cURL's ``effective_url`` property, Guzzle provides the effective URL, or the last redirect URL that returned
+the request, in a response's ``getEffectiveUrl()`` method.
+
+When testing or debugging, it is often useful to see a history of redirects for a particular request. This can be
+achieved using the HistoryPlugin.
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ $request = $client->get('/');
+ $history = new Guzzle\Plugin\History\HistoryPlugin();
+ $request->addSubscriber($history);
+ $response = $request->send();
+
+ // Get the last redirect URL or the URL of the request that received
+ // this response
+ echo $response->getEffectiveUrl();
+
+ // Get the number of redirects
+ echo $response->getRedirectCount();
+
+ // Iterate over each sent request and response
+ foreach ($history->getAll() as $transaction) {
+ // Request object
+ echo $transaction['request']->getUrl() . "\n";
+ // Response object
+ echo $transaction['response']->getEffectiveUrl() . "\n";
+ }
+
+ // Or, simply cast the HistoryPlugin to a string to view each request and response
+ echo $history;
+
+Disabling redirects
+-------------------
+
+You can disable redirects on a client by passing a configuration option in the client's constructor:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ $client = new Client(null, array('redirect.disable' => true));
+
+You can also disable redirects per request:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ $request = $client->get($url, array(), array('allow_redirects' => false));
+
+Redirects and non-repeatable streams
+------------------------------------
+
+If you are redirected when sending data from a non-repeatable stream and some of the data has been read off of the
+stream, then you will get a ``Guzzle\Http\Exception\CouldNotRewindStreamException``. You can get around this error by
+adding a custom rewind method to the entity body object being sent in the request.
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ $request = $client->post(
+ 'http://httpbin.com/redirect/2',
+ null,
+ fopen('http://httpbin.com/get', 'r')
+ );
+
+ // Add a custom function that can be used to rewind the stream
+ // (reopen in this example)
+ $request->getBody()->setRewindFunction(function ($body) {
+ $body->setStream(fopen('http://httpbin.com/get', 'r'));
+ return true;
+ );
+
+ $response = $client->send();
