You should be able to set a custom client executor on the proxybean factory but that also didn't work e.g
@Override
public ClientRequest createRequest(String uriTemplate) {
ClientRequest clientRequest = new ClientRequest(uriTemplate, this);
clientRequest.followRedirects(true);
return clientRequest;
}
@Override
public ClientRequest createRequest(UriBuilder uriBuilder) {
ClientRequest clientRequest = super.createRequest(uriBuilder);
clientRequest.followRedirects(true);
return clientRequest;
}
}
proxyFactoryBean.setClientExecutor(new FollowRedirectsClientExecutor());
In end extending and overriding the Http client (in this case HTTP Component) was needed to make this work e.g.
public HttpUriRequest followRedirects(HttpUriRequest request) {
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("Setting allow redirects");
}
HttpParams p = request.getParams();
HttpClientParams.setRedirecting(p, true);
request.setParams(p);
return request;
}
}
...
@Override
public <T> T execute(HttpUriRequest request, ResponseHandler<? extends T> responseHandler) throw
s IOException,
ClientProtocolException { ClientProtocolException {
request = followRedirects(request);
...
