Hmm I think I did it right, but it still doesn't work correctly. Let me provide a little more info:
I am trying to go to the portal.acm.org website, specifcally the results page with the url like: http://portal.acm.org/results.cfm?coll=Portal&query=SomeCRazyString SomeCrazyString signifies a search term which results in no hits on acm's website. What portal.acm.org does in this case is redirect to itself with new parameters. I think httpclient see's this redirect to itself as a circular redirect, even though it just does it once. Here is how I tried to disable it: HttpClientParams http = new HttpClientParams(); http.setBooleanParameter("ALLOW_CIRCULAR_REDIRECTS", true); GetMethod method = new GetMethod(" http://portal.acm.org/results.cfm?coll=Portal&query=SomeCRazyString";); method.setParams(http); But I still get the CircularRedirectException. Any help is appreciated.
