Description

HttpClient doesn't allow automatic redirects with Http Delete method.
I would like to request to add support to relax any restrictions on auto redirecting for the Delete method?

I needed to redirect on a Delete call so I added a DeleteRedirectStrategy class which extended LaxRedirectStrategy and added Delete method.
Alternatively, could just add Delete method to LaxRedirectStrategy class.
