Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

You cannot use the response returned by better-auth when there is a redirect and need to manually modify it before it is usable

Describe the solution you'd like

Set the standard Location header instead of setting the proprietary fields response.response.redirect and response.response.url

Describe alternatives you've considered

Continue to write extra code that would not be necessary if the Location header were set:

	if (response.response.redirect && response.response.url) {
		setHeaders({ Location: response.response.url });
	}

Additional context

No response

Thanks for opening this issue! We understand that needing to manually transfer the redirect URL into a standard Location header is inconvenient. Our team is already evaluating a change so that redirected responses include the standard Location header directly, which would eliminate the extra code you’re currently writing. In the meantime, using your workaround is a solid temporary solution. Could you share a bit more about your use case so we can better prioritize the fix? Tag @better-auth-agent if you would like an answer from the Agent.
