There's no way to make PostMethod automatically redirect, other than subclassing and overriding setFollowRedirects().
I question if this is what you want though. Generally a redirect on post indicates that the post succeeded and that the response is to be read from the redirected page. So you would perform a POST to http://somehost/form and be redirected to http://somehost/response. You would then want to do a GET on http://somehost/response.
In either case it is also possible to handle the redirect manually by checking the response code and getting the location header.

Hi all,
I writing to ask you if there's any chance to setFollowRedirects(true) to an instance of PostMethod. I've read in the source that "Entity enclosing requests cannot be redirected without user intervention", but I really need a way to get around this limitation. I know that this is probably due to the HTTP POST spec itself, but I need to invoke an HTTP POST that performs redirection.
