WebClient follow redirect defaults for Spring 3.5

[rgarciapariente]

Hello, I think that a WebClient create from spring boot WebClient.Builder in Spring Boot 3.4 don't folow redirects by default but in Spring Boot 3.5 follow redirects by default.

I did a very simple test rgarciapariente/webclient-follow-redirect-default, with Spring Boot 3.4 fails (because dont follow redirects, and with Spring Boot 3.5 works)

I don't see that this was mention in Spring-Boot-3.5-Release-Notes

I would like you to confirm if this is an expected change or a bug.

Thanks a lot

I think this is mentioned in the upgrade notes and the linked reference docs. This might not be called out explicitly as there are many configuration options being considered there (redirect, timeout, etc).

I have updated the upgrade notes to reflect that.
