Quarkus RestClient get response from redirect - quarkus

Question

I'm using Quarkus Rest Client to perform a GET request to an external API service. This service, however, does not directly return the resource (XML) I need to receive, but it performs a redirect to another API service which returns the resource.
When I try to navigate to the path which asks the API service for the resource (i.e. localhost:8080/hello) I get redirected to the page with the resource instead of receiving and processing it.
Putting a breakpoint after the request, shows that the part of the code after the request is never reached.
Here is the code of the endpoint:
#Path("/hello")
public class GreetingResource {
#Inject
#RestClient
MyService myService;
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String hello() {
myService.performGet();
return "you are here"; // breakpoint here, it is never reached
}
}
And here is the code of MyService:
#Path("/..")
#RegisterRestClient(configKey="key")
public interface MyService {
#GET
#Path("/..")
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
String performGet(#QueryParam("c") String c, #QueryParam("d") String d);
}
I have tried to add the configuration key/mp-rest/followRedirects=true, but I still get the same problem. Also, with a path without redirects, everything works fine.
Using the native HttpURLConnection also works fine, but, since I am using Quarkus, I would like to use its features instead.
