             Summary: Headers are not sent when following redirects
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-2040
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2040
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient (classic)
    Affects Versions: 5.0 Beta6
            Reporter: Jeff Schnitzer


It appears that headers are not sent when following redirects.

RedirectExec.execute() contains this code:
 
{{                    switch (statusCode) {
                        case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY:
                        case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY:
                        case HttpStatus.SC_SEE_OTHER:
                            if (!Methods.isSafe(request.getMethod())) {
                                final HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(redirectUri);
                                httpGet.setHeaders(originalRequest.getHeaders());
                                redirect = httpGet;
                            } else {
                                redirect = null;
                            }
                    }
                    if (redirect == null) {
                        redirect = new BasicClassicHttpRequest(originalRequest.getMethod(), redirectUri);
                        redirect.setEntity(originalRequest.getEntity());
                    }
 }}

If the method is not 'safe' and converted to a GET, headers get copied from the original request. Otherwise, the original headers are silently dropped.

Desired behavior: Headers should always be copied from the original request. That was the behavior of HttpClient 4.x.
