Hi Santos,
There's no way to make PostMethod automatically redirect, other than
subclassing and overriding setFollowRedirects().
I question if this is what you want though. Generally a redirect on
post indicates that the post succeeded and that the response is to be
read from the redirected page. So you would perform a POST to
http://somehost/form and be redirected to http://somehost/response. You
would then want to do a GET on http://somehost/response.
In either case it is also possible to handle the redirect manually by
checking the response code and getting the location header.
