Description

Allow VFS HTTP file objects to use HTTP's follow redirect feature. Because the VFS WebDAV implementation subclasses HTTP classes, VFS WebDAV also gets this feature.

For example:

final boolean followRedirect = true;
final FileSystemOptions opts = new FileSystemOptions();
HttpFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance().setFollowRedirect(opts, followRedirect);
final FileObject file = VFS.getManager().resolveFile(uri, opts);
