Description

After changes to GetHTTP in NIFI-1714, I found a corporate web site where GetHTTP fails to download content. GetHTTP could successfully download content from this site before NIFI-1714 was implemented. So that change effectively broke access to this site.

I propose we add a new property to GetHTTP that allows the NiFi user to choose the HTTPClient (Apache HTTPComponents) cookie policy. The property would be called Redirect Cookie Policy which would be "When a HTTP server responds to a request with a redirect, this is the cookie specification used to copy cookies to the following request"
