Unencoded redirect URI causes exception when following redirects
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-930
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-930
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.0.1
Reporter: Ryan Stewart
When HttpClient is set to follow redirects, the DefaultRedirectHandler gets the
redirect location from the appropriate request header and attempts to create a
new java.net.URI from it. If the location contains an invalid URI character,
creating the URI fails. For example, if the redirect location were
"/foo?bar=<baz/>", it would fail because the '<' and '>' are not legal in a URI.
I'm not sure if this should actually be considered a bug in HttpClient, since
the website in question should probably be responsible for encoding the URI
appropriately; however, browsers handle the situation gracefully, and it would
be nice if this excellent library would do so as well.
