- * Implements the HTTP GET method.
- * <p>
- * The HTTP GET method is defined in section 9.3 of
- * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>:
- * <blockquote>
- * The GET method means retrieve whatever information (in the form of an
- * entity) is identified by the Request-URI. If the Request-URI refers
- * to a data-producing process, it is the produced data which shall be
- * returned as the entity in the response and not the source text of the
- * process, unless that text happens to be the output of the process.
- * </blockquote>
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * GetMethods will follow redirect requests from the http server by default.
- * This behavour can be disabled by calling setFollowRedirects(false).</p>
