1344095 - webrequest does not redirect a URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1334918

(WebExtensions :: Request Handling, defect)

Description

[fengyc.work]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170125094131

Steps to reproduce:

Using webrequest api and add a listener to webRequest.onBeforeRequest: 

browser.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(
    handleRedirect,
    {urls: ["<all_urls>"]},
    ["blocking"]
);

In function handleRedirect, I try to redirect a url "https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/omnisidebar/?src=hp-dl-featured" to "https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/omnisidebar" (remove "/?src=hp-dl-featured"), but it does not work.


Actual results:

Redirect a url "https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/omnisidebar/?src=hp-dl-featured" to "https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/omnisidebar" (remove "/?src=hp-dl-featured"), the actual result in the address bar does not change.


Expected results:

Redirect to https://addons.mozilla.org/zh-CN/firefox/addon/omnisidebar
