Ok, and the JIRA that was raised from that is
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-2809. Not sure I agree it
shouldn't be supported though so it may be worth reopening that. There's the
case when WS-Addressing is not being used, and even if it is then it should
be possible to just update the WSA TO header while processing the redirect.
There's some doc on how to support redirects with the http client that axis2
uses at http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/redirects.html. Note that CXF
does support redirects, see the client AutoRedirect option -
http://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/client-http-transport.html.

Still, seems like your options A or B may be quicker to get done :)
