Golang/gin: How to disable the "Found." link on HTTP redirect

Question

I'm using gin framework and I'm redirecting signin to home page when the user is already signed in. It shows this html element on the home page.

<a href="/signin">Found</a> "."

How to disable that element from the app?

This is my app code.

func GetSignIn(c *gin.Context) {
    // Get session from cookie. Check if email exists
    // redirect to Home page else show signin page.
    session := sessions.Default(c)
    if session.Get("email") != nil {
        fmt.Println(session.Get("email"))
        c.Redirect(302, "/")
    }
    c.HTML(200, "signin.html", "")
}

It seems like, it's a Go thing https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/http/server.go#L2014

But I'm not sure, how to disable it. Would be great if someone guide me.

Thanks!

Yeah, looks like it's a Go thing and you can't disable it. I suggest you to write your own Redirect structure like render.Redirect from Gin (you can embed it in your new structure to avoid some copy pasting):

https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/blob/master/render/redirect.go

Write your own Render method for new structure based on code from net/http and then use redirect like this:

https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/blob/32cab500ecc71d2975f5699c8a65c6debb29cfbe/context.go#L476

I think it's the simplest way to bypass such net/http redirect behavior.
