I'm trying to test sites to see if they redirect from a HTTP to HTTPS. Here is my code.
import requests
url = "http://www.google.com"
page = requests.get(url)
if page.history:
print ("Request was redirected")
for resp in page.history:
print (resp.status_code, resp.url)
print ("Final destination:")
print (page.status_code, page.url)
else:
print (page.headers)
print (page.history)
print(page.url)
print(page.status_code)
print ("Request was not redirected")
When I test http://www.google.com
using various online header checkers I get a 302 redirect to the https site. However, when I run the code above I get a 200 status code and a page result. However, when I run the code with a site like http://fb.com
I get the following result.
Request was redirected
301 http://fb.com/
302 http://www.facebook.com/?_rdr
Final destination:
200 https://www.facebook.com/
Is this just some how a Google thing or am I missing something.
Google does a lot of magic based on the user agent string. Try fetching as
page = requests.get(url, headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2228.0 Safari/537.36'})
or with some other user agent string and see if that changes the behaviour.
Also, be aware that if you hit Google with a script, it doesn't take long until you get blocked and see captchas at least, even if you have a real user agent string.
