Michael Osipov commented on HTTPCLIENT-2051:
--------------------------------------------
I am aware of that passage, I am convinced that back then there were only
browsers. The world has changed. Which still maybe true for browsers, but not
for other clients. The PR is in compliance with the RFC 7231 for me. It would
be still nice to be able to disable this behavior for {{POST}}.

> 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
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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?
