["Susan Hinrichs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Susan Hinrichs reopened TS-3656:
--------------------------------

Yes, this should be reverted.  I reverted on master.  [~bcall] you should pull it out of 6.0.0.

The whole post/redirect issue needs to be rethought more carefully.

> If you have a plugin on the TS_HTTP_SEND_RESPONSE_HDR_HOOK, calls TSHttpTxnFollowRedirect(txn, 1), redirecting a POST request will fail.
> In the not so bad case, the POST request will be redirected to the new location, but the POST data will be lost.
> In the more bad case, ATS will crash.
> The issue is that the post_redirect buffers are freed early on.  One could delay the post_redirect deallocation until later in the transaction.
