Extend the client's redirect handling interface to allow control of the content
of the redirect
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-862
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-862
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 2
Reporter: Ben Perkins
The existing RedirectHandler interface provides the ability influence which
situations cause redirects, but gives you no control over the content of the
redirect itself. For example, if you want the client follow the redirect of a
POST request with a POST request to the new location, you can't do it.
DefaultRequestDirector decides what method will be used on the redirect request
and as of the most recent patch, it's always either a HEAD or a GET.
One option for resolving this might be extending the RedirectHandler interface
to be a factory for creating the redirect request object. The the
DefaultRequestDirector could then be changed to ask the RedirectHandler to
create the appropriate request for the situation.
Thanks,
Ben
