Hi Jean-Rémioyage, POST methods _may_ not be redirected. When a web server responds with a redirect status code to a POST request, the agent should execute an HTTP GET against the url location specified in the POST response. Currently HttpClient is not able to do it automatically, but it is not very difficult to work this limitation around. Please refer to the 'Handling Redirects' section of the document below for details:

I will make short to be sure you anderstand me... I read a big part of the mailing list archive, but i do not find a solution by now. I encounter difficulties to make a redirection after a POST Method: Error message : ************************************************************* 16 janv. 2004 18:52:46 org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase processRedirectResponse INFO: Redirect requested but followRedirects is disabled ************************************************************* my code : *************************************************************** String source=""; PostMethod methode = new PostMethod(URL); methode.setFollowRedirects(true); methode.setRequestBody(data); // data is like in tutorial : NameValuePair[] if(methode.getFollowRedirects()) System.out.println("FollowRedirects TRUE"); else System.out.println("FollowRedirects FALSE"); myHttpClient.executeMethod(methode); String redirectLocation=null; Header locationHeader = methode.getResponseHeader("location"); if (locationHeader != null) { redirectLocation = locationHeader.getValue(); } else { System.out.println("ERROR : 01"); } if(redirectLocation!=null){ GetMethod getMeth=new GetMethod(redirectLocation); myHttpClient.executeMethod(getMeth); source=methode.getResponseBodyAsString(); } doSomethingWithSource(); **************************************************************** for information, this part : >if(methode.getFollowRedirects()) System.out.println("FollowRedirects TRUE"); >else System.out.println("FollowRedirects FALSE"); always return FALSE ! If anybody has any idea what I am doing wrong, I'd be very pleased if he/she told me :-) Cordialement, Jean-Rémioyage.fr --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************* The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
