Recently we converted a servlet using HTTPClient to talk to a webapp
server from 2.02 to 3.0. Under 2.02 everything worked fine.
Under 3.0, when we do a form post using client side javascript in the
webapp server, we get this exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Entity enclosing requests cannot be
redirected without user intervention
at
org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.EntityEnclosingMethod.setFollowRed
irects(EntityEnclosingMethod.java:221)
The Javadoc for setFollowRedirects says that this was implemented as
part of RFC 2616. Was this added in 3.0, and if so, will I not be able
to use 3.0 to do this type of request? If so I think it's probably OK
for us to use 2.02 for now.
