http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14731 Redirection of a POST method Summary: Redirection of a POST method Product: Commons Version: Nightly Builds Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: HttpClient AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I execute a PostMethod to an URL which redirects me to a HTML page. If I set follow redirects to true the HttpClient wants to execute once more a POST. Of course a POST is not allowed to HTML pages. I think the HttpClient should exectue a GET method instead. That's also what is in the RFC2616: 10.3 Redirection 3xx This class of status code indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill the request. The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second request is GET or HEAD. A client SHOULD detect infinite redirection loops, since such loops generate network traffic for each redirection. Note: previous versions of this specification recommended a maximum of five redirections. Content developers should be aware that there might be clients that implement such a fixed limitation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
