Httpclient 4, error 302. How to redirect?

Question

I want to access one site that first requires an (tomcat server) authentication and then log in with a POST request and keep that user to see the site\'s pages. I use Httpcl

Answer 1

In later versions of HttpCLient (4.1+), you can just do this:

DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient()
client.setRedirectStrategy(new LaxRedirectStrategy())

LaxRedirectStrategy will automatically redirect HEAD, GET, and POST requests. For a stricter implementation, use DefaultRedirectStrategy.
