Symptoms
Redirecting behavior with HTTP Status 307 using HttpURLConnection on WebLogic seems different with RFC 7231/RFC 7238.
There is 3 servltes deployed on WebLogic.
- <LANDING_SERVLET> is for landing.It display only a landing page.
- <REDIRECT_SERVLET> is for redirect to <LANDING_SERVLET> with HTTP Status 307.
- <HTTP_REQUEST_SERVLET> request to <REDIRECT_SERVLET> with using HttpURLConnection with HTTP POST method.
When Accecing <HTTP_REQUEST_SERVLET>,
HttpURLConnection requests to <REDIRECT_SERVLET> with HTTP POST method and receives HTTP Status 307.
then, the HttpURLConnection requests to <LANDING_SERVLET> with HTTP GET method
in spite of RFC 7231/RFC 7238 said "MUST NOT change the request method".
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.4.7
The 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code indicates that the target
resource resides temporarily under a different URI and the user agent
MUST NOT change the request method if it performs an automatic
redirection to that URI.
