Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

In spite of the fact that HTTP/1.1 support is claimed, the implementation of HttpURLConnection doesn't support 307 redirects, only 302. Use of 302 is deprecated and 307 is required for HTTP/1.1 compliance. Since the client side identifies itself as HTTP/1.1, a server can rightfully use 307 and the client will fail. Using setFollowRedirect() doesn't help since the implemenation doesn't know to look for 307. The user has to code it themselves.
