Thanks for your response Oleg. Here is the logging information I received and with my eyes I do not see where it is being locked out.
I did search through all the documents I could find in the archive on redirects to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Ken Hall *****Start:PostMethod**** 2004/08/31 13:46:00:491 CDT [DEBUG] HttpConnection - -HttpConnection.setSoTimeout(0) 2004/08/31 13:46:00:491 CDT [DEBUG] HttpMethodBase - -Execute loop try 1 2004/08/31 13:46:00:507 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "POST /login.cgi HTTP/1.1[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:507 CDT [DEBUG] HttpMethodBase - -Request to add Host header ignored: header already added 2004/08/31 13:46:00:507 CDT [DEBUG] HttpMethodBase - -Default charset used: ISO-8859-1 2004/08/31 13:46:00:507 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/2.0.1[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "Host: host.x.x.x[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "Cookie: pubcookie_g_req=clear[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "Content-Length: 382[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] header - ->> "[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] EntityEnclosingMethod - -Using buffered request body 2004/08/31 13:46:00:523 CDT [DEBUG] EntityEnclosingMethod - -Request body sent 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "HTTP/1.1 200 OK[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 18:46:06 GMT[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_pubcookie/3.1.1 pre-beta1 (XXX-027) mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.6m[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "Expires: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 01:01:01 GMT[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "Pragma: No-Cache[\r][\n]" 2004/08/31 13:46:06:413 CDT [DEBUG] header - -<< "Set-Cookie: pubcookie_cred=cookieVal=;

I am having difficulty after successfully logging in to get the redirected page and it appears that my issue lies with multiple hosts. HTTPS does not seem to be the issue. My procedure goes like this. 1) Post to page with the correct credentials. *********** PostMethod authpost = new PostMethod("https://host1/url"); authpost.setRequestBody(data); try { client.executeMethod(authpost); } catch (HttpException httpe) { System.err.print("HttpException."); System.err.println(httpe.getMessage()); httpe.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException ioe) { System.err.print("IOException."); System.err.println(ioe.getMessage()); ioe.printStackTrace(); } // release any connection resources used by the method authpost.releaseConnection(); *********** 2) Two additional cookies are placed in the request header. It tells me I am logged in and I am returned a meta tag refresh in the response body. *********** <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=https://host2/url"> You should be automatically redirected back to your original page. If you are not automatically redirected, please click <a href="https://host2/url">here</a> *********** 3) Upon using the GetMethod to go directly to this page which is on a different host, I am referred back to the login page. *********** authget = new GetMethod("https://host2/url"); try { client.executeMethod(authget); } catch (HttpException httpe) { System.err.print("HttpException."); System.err.println(httpe.getMessage()); httpe.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException ioe) { System.err.print("IOException."); System.err.println(ioe.getMessage()); ioe.printStackTrace(); } responseBody = authget.getResponseBodyAsString(); authget.releaseConnection(); ************ Is their something I am missing or is there a better way to debug this?
