Redirection not happening?

[Karl Wright]

Hi folks,

The ManifoldCF SharePoint connector has the following code to set up its
HttpClient instance:

>>>>>>
      RequestConfig.Builder requestBuilder = RequestConfig.custom()
          .setCircularRedirectsAllowed(true)
          .setSocketTimeout(socketTimeout)
          .setExpectContinueEnabled(false)
          .setConnectTimeout(connectionTimeout)
          .setConnectionRequestTimeout(socketTimeout);

      // If there's a proxy, set that too.
      if (proxyHost != null && proxyHost.length() > 0)
      {

        // Configure proxy authentication
        if (proxyUsername != null && proxyUsername.length() > 0)
        {
          if (proxyPassword == null)
            proxyPassword = "";
          if (proxyDomain == null)
            proxyDomain = "";

          credentialsProvider.setCredentials(
            new AuthScope(proxyHost, proxyPort),
            new NTCredentials(proxyUsername, proxyPassword, currentHost,
proxyDomain));
        }

        HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, proxyPort);

        requestBuilder.setProxy(proxy);
      }

      HttpClientBuilder builder = HttpClients.custom()
        .setConnectionManager(connectionManager)
        .disableAutomaticRetries()
        .setDefaultRequestConfig(requestBuilder.build())
        .setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider);
      builder.setRequestExecutor(new HttpRequestExecutor(socketTimeout))
        .setRedirectStrategy(new DefaultRedirectStrategy());
      httpClient = builder.build();
<<<<<<

This works fine for the most part, except for one thing: it apparently
doesn't follow 302 redirections, for some reason.  Any idea why?

Thanks in advance,
Karl
