Problem using strict mode in httpclient
Hi,
I am trying to use the httpclient with a postmethod for performing some
action on a server that I have. Now if the action succeeds the server
usually responds with a 302 message with a TEMPORARY_REDIRECT and the
default behavior of the httpclient is to automatically send a GET to the
new url. I want the httpclient to not do this as I want to
programmatically read the 302 message. I believe according to the RFC,
the client is not supposed to perform a GET without user action but most
clients do. I tried to enable the 'makestrict()' method both on the
httpclient and the postmethod but it still does the same thing. How do I
stop the postmethod and/or the httpclient from automatically doing the
redirect on a 302.
Any help will be appreciated.

Darshak,
HttpMethod#setFollowRedirects() is your friend
