Hi Ed, It looks like the server is returning a relative redirection and you're treating it as absolute. I believe this is a problem with out documentation actually. The server is returning:
Location: redir.asp which should be combined with the original URL to get something like: GET /original/path/redir.asp Having a GET request path that doesn't start with a / is going to cause a 400 response since the server doesn't know where to start looking for the file. If I'm misreading the log and you're actually using HttpClient's redirect please let us know (the httpclient-dev list is probably a better place) and we'll look into what support the standards require for this and/or what we should do about it. Either way the documentation should be updated to include a note about handling relative redirects. Regards, Adrian Sutton.
