Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-928:
----------------------------------------------
What can be done pretty easily is changing the RedirectLocations class to use
LinkedHashSet instead of HashSet, which would preserve the natural sequence of
redirects. This, however, would not help with cyclic redirects. Another
possibility would be to maintain a list of redirect locations in the
RedirectLocations in addition to the set.
Would that solve the problem for you?

> Can't get list of redirect locations

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-928
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-928
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1
> Reporter: Ryan Stewart
>
> HttpClient does a great job of following redirects, but afterward there
> doesn't seem to be any way to see the URLs that it followed in the redirect
> chain. They are stored internally by the DefaultRedirectHandler in the
> HttpContext in an attribute named "http.protocol.redirect-locations", but the
> RedirectLocations object that contains them stores them in a Set, so there's
> no way of knowing in what order the URLs were visited.
> Here's an example of why I need it:
> 1) Use HttpClient to retrieve http://foo.com
> 2) http://foo.com returns a 301 redirect to http://foo.com/bar, so HttpClient
> follows the redirect and returns the page to me
> 3) http://foo.com/bar refers to a relative resource like "baz.html".
> That relative resource should resolve to "http://foo.com/bar/baz.html";. I
> only know that, though, if I can look at the redirect URL that HttpClient got
> in step 2. Currently, I don't seem to be able to do that.
