# X_OUTBOUND_REDIRECTED

## Means

an outbound HTTP call answered a redirect

## Typical cause

the vendor answered 3xx and outbound() runs with redirect: 'error' by default, so a hop is never followed silently. meta.location names where it pointed

## Fix

call the final URL `meta.location` names, or pass `redirect: 'follow'` to `outbound()`
