You can disable automatic redirection handling with
WebClient.setRedirectEnabled(false).

It's certainly possible that I've made a mistake in the redirection
handling but as far as I know, it is correct according to the HTTP/1.1
specification.

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3

If you think that HtmlUnit is handling this incorrectly then please
open a bug report.  I'll need to know the exact status code being
returned from the server as the redirection logic is different for
different status codes.

Since you mentioned the method switching from post to get, I assume
that the status code you got was either a 302 or a 303.
