      • withRedirectHandler

        HttpClientBuilder withRedirectHandler​(java.util.function.Function<HttpClientResponse,​Future<RequestOptions>> handler)
        Set a redirect handler for the http client.

        The redirect handler is called when a 3xx response is received and the request is configured to follow redirects with HttpClientRequest.setFollowRedirects(boolean).

        The redirect handler is passed the HttpClientResponse, it can return an HttpClientRequest or null.

        • when null is returned, the original response is processed by the original request response handler
        • when a new Future<HttpClientRequest> is returned, the client will send this new request
        The new request will get a copy of the previous request headers unless headers are set. In this case, the client assumes that the redirect handler exclusively managers the headers of the new request.

        The handler must return a Future<HttpClientRequest> unsent so the client can further configure it and send it.

        Parameters:
        handler - the new redirect handler
