--------------------------------------

             Summary: Redirects (301 responses) to other sites (not a different 
page on the same site) don't get followed.
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1197
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.2 Final
            Reporter: Alex Dupre


If a server, during a simple GET, returns http status code 301 to redirect the 
client to another site, an exception is thrown instead of following the new 
location. This is a major regression, since in httpclient 4.1 it was working 
correctly.

        DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpGet method = new 
HttpGet("http://www.mvzt.gov.si/fileadmin/mvzt.gov.si/pageuploads/pdf/informacijska_druzba/SI_TL.xml";);
        client.execute(method);
    }
