Redirects and .netrc

[jjagielka]

httpx uses .netrc credentials for automatic login when http call is triggered, but it does not apply .netrc credentials when doing redirecting (follow_redirects=True)

Site 1 -> Site 2 -> Site 3
If the authorization is required on Site2, follow_redirects won't work even if .netrc contains an entry for that site.

requests does apply .netrc for traversed sites.

Is that a bug?
