Electron: ses.webRequest.onBeforeRequest: redirectUrl is ignored
The following code works as expected (all HTTP requests are canceled):
session.webRequest.onBeforeRequest({
urls: ['http://*/*']
}, (details, cb) => {
cb({cancel: true})
})
However, when redirectUrl is specified, requests are still sent instead of being canceled and redirected.
session.webRequest.onBeforeRequest({
urls: ['http://*/*']
}, (details, cb) => {
cb({redirectUrl: 'https://example.com'})
})
I am on electron-prebuilt 0.36.3

there is a typo, should be redirectURL . Otherwise unable to reproduce.
session.webRequest.onBeforeRequest({
urls: ['http://*/*']
}, (details, cb) => {
cb({redirectURL: 'https://example.com'})
})

You're right, thanks for resolving.

FWIW, the source of my confusion was that the original WebRequest API (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest) uses redirectUrl instead of redirectURL. This might trip up other developers trying to port Chrome extensions to Electron.
