Description

By default HttpClient follows redirects with DefaultRedirectStrategy when nothing is configured or redirects aren't explicitly disabled. While this is fine for HEAD or GET, this causes errors at runtime and in tests for PUT requests. AbstractHttpClientWagon#put() handles redirects manually, but they never arrive there because the client automatically follows them and may – dependend on the status code – change request method, resulting in Not Found and not a re-PUT.

HttpClient-side redirect handling must be disabled for PUT requests and handled with the given code.
