hi mike, i understand you perfectly and what you said makes sense. the problem is that, without followRedirects set to true, the URL I got from httpPostMethod.getURI().toString() (httpPostMethod is an instance of PostMethod) is the same as the one I pass to the PostMethod constructor while creating httpPostMethod. In other words:
String url1 = "http://...";; PostMethod httpPostMethod = new PostMethod(url1); httpPostMethod.addParameter("...", "..."); httpClient.executeMethod(httpPostMethod); String url2a = httpPostMethod.getURI().toString(); url1 is equal to url2, and I need to obtain the *redirected* url2. Any tip?
