Redirect is not followed on POST

["droidin.net" <dr...@droidin.net>]

I'm trying to automate 2-step search request. There's no JS and no
authentication the form is HTTP Post to ASP page followed by 302 GET
redirect which supposed to return batch of search results. Subsequent GET
requests can be issued to paginate through results. My problem is that when
I execute the form it comes back with 200 and the same page that contains
the initial POST form. I'm wondering if the redirect is not followed for
some reason and if so - how can I force it? I'm using HttpClient 4

Thanks,

Bo

Per requirements of the HTTP specification redirects on POST methods may
not be handled automatically without a user intervention. You can
override the standard compliant behavior by implementing a custom
redirect handler / strategy.

Hope this helps
