------------------------------------------
Summary: RedirectExec always changes method on 301, 302, 303
Key: HTTPCLIENT-2051
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2051
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient (classic)
Affects Versions: 5.0 Beta7
Reporter: Michael Osipov
While working on WAGON-570 I noticed that {{RedirectExec}} still sticks to the
old scheme to change request method from {{X}} to {{GET}}.
I may understand this for 303, but not for the rest. RFC 7231 says:
bq. Note: For historical reasons, a user agent MAY change the request method
from POST to GET for the subsequent request. If this behavior is undesired,
the 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code can be used instead.
I would assume that the default behavior would *not* change the HTTP method.
I'd expect this to be configurable on client or request basis.
Am I misinterpreting the RFC?
