I've been working with httpclient for a couple of days to build a Cocoon transformer that helps me build pipelines to navigate web sites and extract data. I've read the parts of RFC2616 that deal with redirects and state they are automatic on the client only for GET and HEAD methods. I know the JDC and a web site I wrote use POST for the login form and issue a redirect as a response. Any browser I've tried this with honors the redirect. I can send some test code I've been using to test the automated login (that includes handling cookies).
Anyway, I've observed browsers honoring the redirect on a POST, can't httpclient be configured that way? Looking at the source code tells me no. (I've been using 2.0 alpha 3).


Thanks,
David
