Shindig does not store cookies between redirects
------------------------------------------------
Key: SHINDIG-1562
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1562
Project: Shindig
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Pavel Feldman
This problem is caused by this fix
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1382
We store gadget xml files on a web server that has not-so-standard but valid
behavior. If request comes without certain cookie, web server redirects it to
the same url through 302 Moved Temporarily and sets a cookie. Normally,
redirected client will store a cookie and perform second request with it, so
web server will see a cookie and return expected xml. Because of SHINDIG-1382
cookies are not stored, so next request goes to the same url without a cookie
and web server redirects it to the same url again. This produces
ClientProtocolException caused by
org.apache.http.client.CircularRedirectException: Circular redirect to '...' at
DefaultRedirectHandler.java:173
The fix we implemented locally is to remove following lines
client.removeRequestInterceptorByClass(RequestAddCookies.class);
client.removeResponseInterceptorByClass(ResponseProcessCookies.class);
from BasicHttpFetcher.java and clear cookies
response = FETCHER.execute(host, httpMethod);
+((AbstractHttpClient)FETCHER).getCookieStore().clear();
after performing request, so cookies do not get stored unlimited.
