Hi all,
Just to log it someplace public, here's what I wound up doing to get
the final URL (probably overkill re all of the to/from URI/URL stuff):
getter = new HttpGet(new URI(url));
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
response = _httpClient.execute(getter, localContext);
int httpStatus = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
if (httpStatus != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
throw new HttpFetchException(url, "Error fetching " +
url, httpStatus, headerMap);
}
HttpHost host =
(HttpHost)localContext.getAttribute(ExecutionContext.HTTP_TARGET_HOST);
HttpUriRequest finalRequest =
(HttpUriRequest
)localContext.getAttribute(ExecutionContext.HTTP_REQUEST);
try {
URL hostUrl = new URI(host.toURI()).toURL();
redirectedUrl = new URL(hostUrl,
finalRequest.getURI().toString()).toExternalForm();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
LOGGER.warn("Invalid host/uri specified in final
fetch: " + host + finalRequest.getURI());
redirectedUrl = url;
}
This is only partially correct. The original request object remains
unmodified.
So, one needs to retrieve the internal HttpUriRequest and HttpHost
objects from
the execution context in order to find out the final request URI /
target host.
