HTTP Client does not handle 302 redirect in POST request
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1089
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1089
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.1.1
Environment: *
Reporter: Bartosz Firyn
POST requests are not being automatically redirected after receiving 302
response.
This is because there is a statement in the DefaultRedirectStrategy class:
82: case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY:
83: return (method.equalsIgnoreCase(HttpGet.METHOD_NAME)
84: || method.equalsIgnoreCase(HttpHead.METHOD_NAME)) &&
locationHeader != null;
Which means that only HEAD and GET requests are being redirected. In my opinion
all requests should be redirected, not only these two types.
This should be:
82: case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY:
83: return locationHeader != null;
After receiving 302 status for POST request new GET request should be send to
Location URI. Internet browsers works in the same way.
