Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1089:
-----------------------------------------------
Bartosz,
HttpClient already suffers from over-use (or abuse) of configuration
parameters. One can still override the default behavior of HttpClient by
providing a custom RedirectStrategy specifically tailed for a particular
application, if desired.
You are very welcome to contribute a RedirectStrategy implementation that
mimics the behavior of popular web browser one could plug-in instead of the
default implementation. I believe that would be a better way of solving the
problem.

> 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
> Labels: redirect
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> 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.
> Best Regards
