[erlang-questions] http:request - {autoredirect, true} with HTTP 302

[Ingela Anderton]

Hi !

The intention is that 302 (301, 303 and 307) should be redirected
automatically only if the request method was get or head.  (As in your
case). The http client used to be too generous in its redirecting but
unfortunately it seems when restricting it the 302 code became too
restricted, that will be fixed for the next release.
