/**
 * A lax implementation of the {@link RedirectStrategy} that automatically handles HTTP redirects
 * for HEAD, GET, POST, and DELETE requests based on the response status code.
 *
 * <p>This strategy relaxes the HTTP specification restrictions on automatic redirection of POST
 * requests, allowing redirects for these methods where the specification might otherwise prohibit
 * them. This can be useful in scenarios where a server indicates a redirect for a POST request
 * that the client should follow.</p>
 *
 * <p>This class is thread-safe and stateless, suitable for use across multiple threads
 * without additional synchronization.</p>
 *
 * @since 5.4
