> The docs for {{DefaultRedirectStrategy}} correctly state:
> {quote}
> This strategy honors the restrictions on automatic redirection of entity enclosing methods such as POST and PUT imposed by the HTTP specification. \{@code 302 Moved Temporarily\}, \{@code 301 Moved Permanently\} and \{@code 307 Temporary Redirect\} status codes will result in an automatic redirect of HEAD and GET methods only. POST and PUT methods will not be automatically redirected as requiring user confirmation.
> {quote}
> (NB: in fact to be more precise I think DELETE requests should also be *not* automatically redirected)
> However the actual implementation does not seem to follow this, whereby {{isRedirected}} pretty much lets all requests through:
> {code}
> switch (statusCode) {
>             case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY:
>             case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY:
>             case HttpStatus.SC_SEE_OTHER:
>             case HttpStatus.SC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT:
>                 return true;
>             default:
>                 return false;
>         }
> {code}
> A simple failing test case that confirms the problem for a PUT request resulting with 302 (PUT should only be redirected automatically for 303):
> {code}
>     @Test
>     public void testIsRedirectedForTemporaryRedirectPut() throws Exception {
>         final DefaultRedirectStrategy redirectStrategy = new DefaultRedirectStrategy();
>         final HttpResponse response = new BasicHttpResponse(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1,
>                 HttpStatus.SC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT, "Temporary Redirect");
>         response.addHeader("Location", "http://localhost/stuff");
>         final HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext();
>         assertFalse(redirectStrategy.isRedirected(new HttpPut("http://localhost/"), response, context));
>     }
> {code}
