CXF-8746: Support force GET on 301 & 302 redirections for historical reasons as explained in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7231.html section 6.4.2 & 6.4.3.

@ypiel-talend my apologies, I have difficulties to understand this change, the sections you are referring to note that:

Note: For historical reasons, a user agent MAY change the request
method from POST to GET for the subsequent request. If this
behavior is undesired, the 307 (Temporary Redirect) status code
can be used instead.

This is the behavior driven by user agent (client) and not the server, I am not sure why CXF needs change here. Also, seems like this is really outdated behavior (from notes on spec), why do we need to support it? What is the use case?

Thank you.
