Problem: I have to redirect my Post request to my other server with all the headers and params and options.

For redirecting I am using below code

conn |> redirect(external: redirect_url)  |> halt()

Which doesnt retain all the headers, params and information.

How can I simply redirect to external url with everything intact?

redirect/2 sends an 302 status code (:found) by default, which means “a resource is available elsewhere”. Semantically for an intial post request this means “what you tried to create already exists on that url”. Therefore browsers usually do a GET request to the url forwarded to.

If you want to actually say “do the same request to this other url instead” you’ll need to set the status to 307.

conn 
|> put_status(:temporary_redirect)
|> redirect(external: redirect_url)  
|> halt()
