Have you enabled or disabled automatic redirects? In other words, do
you have a problem with the default behavior of HttpClient, or one in
your application?

Do you get that problem when executing the POST, or when doing
the followup GET? Is the "Method failed" a message from your code?
320 is not a defined status code. Message "Found" is assigned to
status code 302.

Servers are required to send absolute URLs in a redirect, but
many don't. If you've tried to send a GET request to a relative
URL, this is the what you might see. You have to resolve the
relative URL manually.

If you expect a redirect with status code 302, why do you
print "Method failed" if you get anything but status 200?
I didn't look into the log, see Oleg's comment on HttpClient version.
