How can I configure JBoss EAP 7 RESTeasy client to follow redirect?

Issue

We are using a REST client that needs to resolve redirections. In JBoss EAP 6 with RESTEasy client API ClientRequest class we had the method request.followRedirects(true). So we're able to write the following to configure the client to follow redirects:

 ClientResponse<String> response = request.followRedirects(true).get(String.class);

Now when using the JAX-RS client for JBoss EAP 7.0.x and we don't see an equivalent method when creating the client using the following code:

client.target(...).queryParam(...).request().accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)......

If we don't set follow redirects an exception is thrown when the server response is 3XX HTTP codes:

Exception in thread "main" javax.ws.rs.RedirectionException: HTTP 301 Moved Permanently

    at org.example.resteasy.FollowRedirectTests.testWithoutFollowRedirect(FollowRedirectTests.java:27)
    at org.example.resteasy.FollowRedirectTests.main(FollowRedirectTests.java:23)

What can be done to configure our REST client to follow redirects?
