Do Kubernetes http probes follow redirects?
This topic was already rised in Github - kubelet's httpProbe follow redirects
According to @thockin tests in this comment, current probes configuration allows HTTP probes to redirecting and it's current behavior.
c) fix docs and follow redirects wherever they lead (current behavior)
I've check changelogs and this behavior was not changed.
In addition you can check this thread with similar issue, when response is 301.
