Spring RestTemplate [removed]

Question

I\'m trying to use spring rest template to do a post request to login in.

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHead         


        

Answer 1

The redirection is followed automatically if the request is a GET request (see this answer). To make it happen on POST requests, one option might be to use a different request factory, like HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory, and set it to use an HttpClient with the required settings to follow the redirect (see LaxRedirectStrategy):

final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
final HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory factory = new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory();
final HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create()
                                               .setRedirectStrategy(new LaxRedirectStrategy())
                                               .build();
factory.setHttpClient(httpClient);
restTemplate.setRequestFactory(factory);

I haven't tested, but this should work.
