Shooting from the hip like this is not so good.  I have already implemented a
work-around as described in my original message.

This problem is a bug in HttpClient either way you take it.  Either of two cases
applies:

- a (possibly optional) compensation is a good idea so that programs like
HttpUnit can accurately test web sites by mimicing wide-spread behavior 

or 

- compensation is a bad thing in which case HttpClient should be checking for
invalid input.

I agree that this is also a bug on the part of Tomcat (or more likely acegi). 
But that doesn't absolve HttpClient from the responsibility for checking for
invalid inputs.  Keep in mind that this is *not* user input, but automatically
generated input.  Also, the error produced is after the redirect happens and is
a 505, unsupported protocol which is highly misleading.  A simple check for
valid location would allow HttpClient to provide an accurate and timely
indication of error.
