Force http_get to return content after loading it to the browser

I’m using the following script for getting request and response structures:

function main(splash)
    local url = splash.args.url
    local reply = splash:http_get(url)
    assert(splash:wait(1))
    return {
		    reply.request.info,	
		    reply.info
		}
end

From documentation - splash:http_get method returns content without loading result to the browser. Actually I would need to get content.text as it is returned by splash:go(url) method after loading content to the browser. Is it possible to don’t call two separate methods twice?

@slotix I think there are two options:

1. get response using splash:http_get, then use splash:set_content to load it in a browser, then call splash:html to get the processed version.
2. call splash:go and use splash:on_response to store raw response body of the first non-redirect response; it will require setting splash.response_body_enabled to true.

The following code works for me perfectly

function string.ends(String,End)
  return End=='' or string.sub(String,-string.len(End))==End
end
function remove_trailing_slash(text)
  if string.ends(text, "/") then
    text = text:sub(1, -2)
  end
  return text
end

function main(splash)
  local url = splash.args.url
  splash:on_response(function (response)
  url = remove_trailing_slash(url)
  resp_url = remove_trailing_slash(response.info.url)
	if resp_url == url then
    status = response.info.status
    is_redirect = status == 301 or status == 302
    if is_redirect then
      url = response.info.redirectURL
    elseif status == 200 then
      r = response
    end
  end
  end)
  assert(splash:go(url))
  assert(splash:wait(1))
    return {
      request = r.request.info,
      response = r.info,
      html = splash:html(),
    }
end
