'Httpclient redirect handler
I'm trying to call a web server that is using relative URL redirects for some of the calls. This of course isn't working with DefaultHttpClient as it isn't treating it as a relative URL. I've gotten as far as implementing a RedirectHandler in an attempt to catch the redirect and add in the base call but I can't work out how to get the location of the redirect.
With the following method how do I go about finding out where I am being redirected to? I can't find any fields on either response or context that have what I need and I don't know where else to look.
public URI getLocationURI(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context)

Have a look here: HttpClient 4 - how to capture last redirect URL
I would try getStatusLine()
for start.

My solution is to read location headers and follow them. This helped me:
if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
Header[] headers = response.getHeaders("Location");
if (headers != null && headers.length != 0) {
String newUrl = headers[headers.length - 1].getValue();
// call again the same downloading method with new URL
return downloadBitmap(newUrl);
} else {
return null;
}
}
