Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1279:
-----------------------------------------
Oleg points out that since we are doing a POST operation, RFC 2616 comes into
play, and prevents redirection for 302 responses:
{quote}
10.3.3 302 Found
The requested resource resides temporarily under a different URI.
Since the redirection might be altered on occasion, the client SHOULD
continue to use the Request-URI for future requests. This response
is only cacheable if indicated by a Cache-Control or Expires header
field.
The temporary URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the
response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the
response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to
the new URI(s).
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other
than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the
request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might
change the conditions under which the request was issued.
Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
to change the method on the redirected request. However, most
existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have
been added for servers that wish to make unambiguously clear which
kind of reaction is expected of the client.

> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.3
> Reporter: Karl Wright

> Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.4

>
> The SharePoint connector does not appear to honor redirections.
> It should be doing the following:
> {code}
> HttpClientBuilder.setRedirectStrategy(RedirectStrategy redirectStrategy)
> {code}
> ... and it is. So I don't know why the redirection is not happening.
