Lars Bachmann created HTTPCLIENT-1452:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: in case of a redirect a wrong host param is set to http
header
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1452
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1452
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient
Reporter: Lars Bachmann
The following url will lead to an circular redirect and an
CircularRedirectException in the end:
http://it.bing.com/
The reason is that http://it.bing.com will redirect to http://www.bing.com but
the header param "host" is not set to the new host (bing.com), instead the host
param of the original (it.bing.com) request is used. In the end the redirect
request will not call http://www.bing.com but instead http://it.bing.com which
is the same location like the original url and will end up in a circular dead
lock.
The fix would be after copying all header params from the original request to
the redirect request, to override the host param with the value of the redirect
request
The class to adjust is: org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.java
The problem is also adressed here:
