# Enum Class HttpClient.Redirect

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<HttpClient.Redirect>
java.net.http.HttpClient.Redirect

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Comparable<HttpClient.Redirect>`, `Constable`

Enclosing class:
  `HttpClient`

public static enum HttpClient.Redirect extends Enum<HttpClient.Redirect>
Defines the automatic redirection policy.

The automatic redirection policy is checked whenever a `3XX` response code is received. If redirection does not happen automatically, then the response, containing the `3XX` response code, is returned, where it can be handled manually.

`Redirect` policy is set through the Builder.followRedirects method.

Implementation Note:
  When automatic redirection occurs, the request method of the redirected request may be modified depending on the specific `30X` status code, as specified in RFC 7231. In addition, the `301` and `302` status codes cause a `POST` request to be converted to a `GET` in the redirected request.
