Clones a HttpMethod. 

Attention: You have to clone a method before it has 
been executed, because the URI can change if followRedirects 
is set to true.
Params:
m – the HttpMethod to clone
Throws:
IOException – if the request body couldn't be read
Returns:
the cloned HttpMethod, null if the HttpMethod could 
not be instantiated/**
