httpclient method handling redirects to non-http protocol
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-707
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-707
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
         Environment: os X 10.5
            Reporter: adam brin
            Priority: Minor


HTTPClient does not handle protocol redirects 'nicely'.  When you call 
client.executeMethod(method) on a url like [1] the client throws an 
IllegalStateException.  Clearly, this is not a bug, the enhancement is/would be 
to better handle the http redirect that happens prior to the protocol change.  
Specifically, either not throwing an exception, but setting a status variable 
or something so you can pick up the redirected URI/protocol.
