Hi Sebb,
Sorry to not mention it earlier. I am using HttpClient 3.1
(commons-httpclient-3.1.jar)
Thanks,
Rutuja

Hello,
I am working on the application which fetches HTTP contents given the URL.
If there is any redirection from the original URL, I need to find out what's
the destination URL from which the contents are going to be fetched
eventually. Then depending on the predefined criterion I would like to
determine if the contents should be fetched from the final destination or
not.
For example, when I use HttpClient to fetch contents from URL:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/login!withRedirect.jspa
The request gets automatically redirected to
https://auth.opensolaris.org/login.action?targetUrl=http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=219909
and HttpClient returns the html contents from https://auth.opensolaris....
Based on the return code value from method.execute() call I have no way to
know that this happened. The return code is 200 (HttpStatus.SC_OK).
I have two questions as follows:
1> Is there any way to know that this redirect happened ?
2> Can I control redirects completely? Meaning, is there any way to tell
HttpClient to not to fetch content from the new URL but just let the calling
method know what this new URL is?
Please note setting method.followRedirects() to true or false did not alter
the behavior. Irrespective of setting this flag to false, the HTML contents
were fetched from https://auth.opensolaris....
Which version of HttpClient are you using?
Thanks in advance!
