Michael Osipov updated HTTPCLIENT-2051:
---------------------------------------
Summary: RedirectExec always changes HTTP method on 301, 302, 303 (was:
RedirectExec always changes method on 301, 302, 303)
> RedirectExec always changes HTTP method on 301, 302, 303
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2051
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2051
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient (classic)
> Affects Versions: 5.0 Beta7
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Major
>
> 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?
