@WorkiStanton I've recently come up against this issue. A gotcha to watch out for is the Authorization header is not sent when following a redirect (https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire/issues/798 This is not a Alamorfire specific issue). Your production code that is currently working fine, if there was a server change and a redirect was used, it could possibly break your code.

Thanks for the update. Especially in the case of a .mixed immersion style, it would be nice the allow full freedom.
