Lars Bachmann updated HTTPCLIENT-1452:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
The following url will lead to a circular redirect and a 
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 request (it.bing.com) is used. In the end the redirect 
request will not call http://www.bing.com but http://it.bing.com instead, which 
is the same location like the original url and will end up in a circular 
deadlock.

The fix would be to override the host param with the value of the redirect 
request after copying all header params from the original request to the 
redirect request.

The class to adjust is: org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.java

The problem is also addressed here:
