Summary: Headers are not sent when following redirects Key: HTTPCLIENT-2040 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2040 Project: HttpComponents HttpClient Issue Type: Bug Components: HttpClient (classic) Affects Versions: 5.0 Beta6 Reporter: Jeff Schnitzer It appears that headers are not sent when following redirects. RedirectExec.execute() contains this code: {{ switch (statusCode) { case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY: case HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY: case HttpStatus.SC_SEE_OTHER: if (!Methods.isSafe(request.getMethod())) { final HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(redirectUri); httpGet.setHeaders(originalRequest.getHeaders()); redirect = httpGet; } else { redirect = null; } } if (redirect == null) { redirect = new BasicClassicHttpRequest(originalRequest.getMethod(), redirectUri); redirect.setEntity(originalRequest.getEntity()); } }} If the method is not 'safe' and converted to a GET, headers get copied from the original request. Otherwise, the original headers are silently dropped. Desired behavior: Headers should always be copied from the original request. That was the behavior of HttpClient 4.x. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@hc.apache.org
