title: Scrapy CrawlSpider parse_item for a 302 redirect response
body: <p>I am using a Scrapy <code>CrawlSpider</code> to crawl websites and process on their page content. For this I am using the <a href="http://doc.scrapy.org/en/0.24/topics/spiders.html#crawlspider-example" rel="nofollow">Scrapy Docs Crawlspider Example</a>.</p>
  
  <p>A particular page on the links takes in a parameter <code>target</code> via GET request (say <code>http://www.example.com?target=x</code>) and redirects (302) if the value is erroneous. On receiving this 302 HTTP response, scrapy follows the redirect, but doesn't processes the <code>response</code> in <code>parse_item</code> method, as intended by me.</p>
  
  <p>I came across a few solutions suggesting <code>meta/dont_redirect/http_status_list</code> but none seem to be taking effect. </p>
  
  <p>Please suggest how can I parse the response of 302 redirection, without/before following on the 302 redirected location.</p>
