Description

I had a look through the issues list and couldn't find something mentioned like this already but apologies if this has already been requested.

Please would you consider adding an option that disables following redirects automatically when using the Compose tool?

So for example if you compose a request with https://httpbin.org/redirect-to?url=example.com you would then receive a 302 status and be able to inspect the response which contains the Location header instead of seeing the result of the following request as a result of the redirect.

Why this feature/change is important?

I was using the Compose tool via "Edit & Repeat" earlier today to debug a HTTP endpoint which returns a Location header but the behaviour appears to be that the Proxyman automatically follows the redirect which in itself may not be desired when testing URLs which you're expecting to return a Location header but also the Compose window then shows the resulting request from the ultimate request rather than the request I manually sent which was a little disorientating.

Thank you!

@jordaneb you can try this Beta build: https://download.proxyman.io/beta/Proxyman_4.15.0_Support_Auto_Follow_Redirects_for_Compose_Repeat_Tool.dmg

It allows to disable the "Auto follow redirects" in the Compose Setting Menu.

@NghiaTranUIT Thank you so much. I have downloaded the beta build and tested this against the use-case from yesterday and it works great.

I will continue to use the beta for now but look forward to using this in the release version 🚀
