@Component
public class AutodiscoverRedirectStrategy

Redirect strategy for http client that allows following redirects (HTTP 301, 302, 307) for POST messages after validating the redirect location is "safe".

                                                                 org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context)
                                                          throws org.apache.http.ProtocolException

Overrides behavior to follow redirects for POST messages, AND to have the redirect be a POST. Behavior of DefaultRedirectStrategy is to use a GET for the redirect (though against spec this is the de-facto standard, see http://www.mail-archive.com/httpclient-users@hc.apache.org/msg06327.html and http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/www/post-redirect.html).

For our application, we want to follow the redirect for a 302 as long as it is to a safe location and have the redirect be a POST.

This code is modified from http-components' http-client 4.2.5. Since we only use POST the code for the other HTTP methods has been removed to simplify this method.
