During June 2025, Paul O’Logn implemented custom redirect handling for the microsoft/kiota-java repository, replacing OkHttp’s default behavior with a dedicated RedirectHandler middleware. By disabling automatic redirect following, Paul enabled explicit control over HTTP redirects, addressing reliability and predictability concerns for Kiota-generated Java clients. He developed comprehensive tests to verify the new middleware’s behavior and to guard against future regressions. This work focused on feature delivery rather than bug fixes, demonstrating depth in middleware design and testing. Paul utilized Java and HTTP client technologies throughout the project, ensuring that redirect logic is now both transparent and maintainable within the codebase.
