[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1248) LaxRedirectStrategy converts POST to GET and throws away body

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1248?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13473135#comment-13473135 ]

I would say this is the intended behavior. If in the context of your particular application POST redirects are OK, you probably should be using a custom redirect strategy.

> The LaxRedirectStrategy extends the DefaultRedirectStrategy. The DefaultAsyncRequestDirector calls _redirectStrategy.isRedirected()_ and LaxRedirectStrategy will return *true* on a POST. Then the director calls _redirectStrategy.getRedirect()_. The LaxRedirectStrategy doesn't implement this method so the one in the DefaultRedirectStrategy is called:
> {code}
>         if (method.equalsIgnoreCase(HttpHead.METHOD_NAME)) {
>             return new HttpHead(uri);
>         } else {
>             return new HttpGet(uri);
>         }
> {code}
> This turns the POST into a GET on redirect. IMHO the LaxRedirectStrategy should be
> {code}
>     public HttpUriRequest getRedirect(
>             final HttpRequest request,
>             final HttpResponse response,
>             final HttpContext context) throws ProtocolException {
>         URI uri = getLocationURI(request, response, context);
>         String method = request.getRequestLine().getMethod();
>         if (method.equalsIgnoreCase(HttpHead.METHOD_NAME)) {
>             return new HttpHead(uri);
>         else if (method.equalsIgnoreCase(HttpPost.METHOD_NAME)) {
>             return new HttpPost(uri);
>         } else if (method.equalsIgnoreCase(HttpGet.METHOD_NAME)) {
>             return new HttpGet(uri);
>         } else {
>             throw new IllegalStateException("Redirect called on un-redirectable http method: " + method);
>     }
> {code}
