http:backstage:request Redirect 301 Response Code upon External API call

[mabruch123]

I am trying to use the scaffolder action for http request to trigger external API calls to AWX in our organization, in order to launch workflow_templates dynamically with the form inputs provided by the users in the Red Hat Developer Hub GUI (RedHat's Backstage)

Expected Behavior

Configure the specific parameters into the required parameters of the roadiehq-http:backstage:request in my software template definition, as well configuring appropriate proxy settings in the app-config.yaml, and upon user form inputs a POST method API call will happen to the AWX external API that will inturn launch a workflow_template

Current Behavior

Doing all that was said above leads me to receiving a Status code of 301 (permanent redirect) response code, leaving me stuck with a "successful" action step, but in reality the workflow_template was never triggered, and the POST method call never reached the AWX api.

Steps to Reproduce

template.yaml

• id: launch-awx-template
  name: ...
  action: http:backstage:request
  input:
  method: POST
  path: proxy/awx-api/workflow_job_templates/2050/launch
  headers:
  Content-Type: application/json
  Authorization: 'XXXXXXX`
  body:
  extra_vars:
  ......

app-config.yaml
proxy:
endpoints:
'/awx-api':
target: https://awx.com/api/v2
changeOrigin: true
secure: true
credentials: dangerously-allow-unauthenticated

Possible Solution

I looked abit the in the code of the plugin, fairly simple and clean
Maybe there needs to be some sort of handling for redirect response codes?
something like fetch(url, { method: 'POST', redirect: 'follow'})

Context

Red Hat Developer Hub (v1.3.1) comes pre-installed with the roadiehq-http:backstage:request scaffolder action (v4.3.2), so I just followed the official documentation of roadie https://roadie.io/backstage/plugins/scaffolder-http-requests/ for the input parameters
I am also working on an airgapped self-managed Openshift to host the Red Hat Developer Hub, not sure if that makes a difference
I'll be glad for your assistance. Maybe i missed the mark completely, i am quite new to Backstage and all of the plugin architecture in it. Thanks in advance

Your Environment

• Red Hat Developer Hub version: 1.3.1
