Upload fail with exception "Entity closing requests cannot be redirected..."

When i try to upload a file with te webdav wagon to archiva it fail with the following exception:
[INFO] Retrieving previous build number from ubik-central

I have to put the followRedirect parameter to false for the file to be uploaed correctly:
method.setFollowRedirects( super.followRedirects );
to
//is it possible to follow redirects on PUT operations ?
method.setFollowRedirects( false );

But i' wondering why such error happen in the first place, i guess others should have encountered it before.
