Class LaxRedirectStrategy

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.DefaultRedirectStrategy

org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.LaxRedirectStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

RedirectStrategy

@Contract(threading=STATELESS)
public class LaxRedirectStrategy
extends DefaultRedirectStrategy

A lax implementation of the RedirectStrategy that automatically handles HTTP redirects for HEAD, GET, POST, and DELETE requests based on the response status code.

This strategy relaxes the HTTP specification restrictions on automatic redirection of POST requests, allowing redirects for these methods where the specification might otherwise prohibit them. This can be useful in scenarios where a server indicates a redirect for a POST request that the client should follow.

This class is thread-safe and stateless, suitable for use across multiple threads without additional synchronization.

5.4
