302 response without location header throws exception
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-939
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-939
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.0.1
Reporter: Nicolas Belisle
Hi,
According to HTTP 1.1 Spec :
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.3.3
"The temporary URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the response.
Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the response SHOULD contain a
short hypertext note with a hyperlink to the new URI(s)."
Now, in "DefaultRedirectStrategy.getLocationURI()", there's a ProtocolException
thrown if location header is null.
if (locationHeader == null) {
// got a redirect response, but no location header
throw new ProtocolException(
"Received redirect response " + response.getStatusLine()
+ " but no location header");
}
The specs says "SHOULD" and not "MUST". ProtocolException "signals that an HTTP
protocol violation has occurred", which is not exactly true.
