HttpClient returns 300 as the status code as would be expected in such a case.
Sounds reasonable. Does it also make the body available in this case?
Yes, the retrieved document is always available and (as everyone should know by now :) furthermore *must* always be read to avoid problems. To make life easier when you call releaseConnection on a method any remaining response body is read before the connection is put back into the pool.
The developer is then free to select whichever option they want.The URL you gave however return 302 not 300 and HttpClient throws an exception because cross-site redirects are not supported.
Umm. I think HttpClient and wget must disagree:
$ wget --server-response http://www.blooberry.com//indexdotpreview/html/index8.htm
--12:48:55-- http://www.blooberry.com//indexdotpreview/html/index8.htm
=> `index8.htm'
Resolving www.blooberry.com... done.
Connecting to www.blooberry.com[204.122.16.82]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
1 HTTP/1.1 300 Multiple Choices
...
A telnet to port 80 for that page also gives 300 Multiple Choices.
Interesting.... I do get a 300 from telnet, but a 302 from HttpClient:
302
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>302 Found</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Found</H1>
The document has moved <A HREF="http://www.eskimo.com/notfound.html";>here</A>.<P>
</BODY></HTML>
I'll have to play around with some logging information to find out exactly what's happening, but I have used a hand crafted response to show that HttpClient will return the 300 status code.
I'll create a patch for the docs to mention 300 responses. Anything particularly important about them that I should note?
I'm not sure what the docs should say other than pointing out that you'll need to parse or display the body in some non-HTTP way to get any sense out of it.
There's actually a few status codes in the 3xx range that need a special mention so I'm adding them all in now. The concept of a 304 Not Modified is wierd, it's effectively a redirect to cache but that's not the way I'd ever thought of it.
