Subject: redirecting from httpclient post

Any help is greatly appreciated! I need to get this working before I
have
this baby in a few weeks. I am trying to send data to a form using
HttpClient post method. I can sucessfully get there but I am not being
redirected. I am getting a status code of 200 instead of one in the
300s.
Do I need to put the actual submit button in the name value pair for
the
post to get it to work? Am I missing something else? I'm not sure if
its
my code or the URL I am going against. I know the URL will come up and
if
I enter the data into the form and click submit it does redirect to the
new URL.

Thanks!

// Create an instance of HttpClient.
HttpClient client =
new
HttpClient();
HttpServletResponse
response = null;

// Create a method
instance.
PostMethod post = new
PostMethod(
"https://URL";);

NameValuePair[] data =
{
new NameValuePair("agent_id", username),
new NameValuePair("password", pwd),
new NameValuePair("poltyp", type),
new NameValuePair("polno", policy) };

//
post.setFollowRedirects(true);
post.setRequestBody(data);
//
System.out.println("requestBody =" + data.toString());

client.executeMethod(post);

post.releaseConnection();
int statuscode =
post.getStatusCode();
System.out.println(
"Statuscode = " + statuscode);

if ((statuscode ==
HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY)
|| (statuscode == HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY)
|| (statuscode == HttpStatus.SC_SEE_OTHER)
|| (statuscode == HttpStatus.SC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT)) {
Header
header = post.getResponseHeader("location");

System.out.println("location=" + header.getValue());

if
(header != null) {
String newuri = header.getValue();

if ((newuri == null) || (newuri.equals(""))) {
newuri = "/";
}

GetMethod redirect = new GetMethod(newuri);
client.executeMethod(redirect);

if (newuri.indexOf("jsessionid=") > -1) {
String jsessionid = newuri.substring(newuri

.indexOf("jsessionid=") +
11, newuri.length());



response.addHeader("Set-Cookie", "JSESSIONID="
+ jsessionid +
";Path="
+
request.getContextPath());
}
response.sendRedirect(newuri);

}
}
