[HttpClient] - redirect not supported

["Schreier, Balz" <Ba...@sunrise.net>]

hi,

i downloaded the latest release (not alpha, but the release from january
03).
everything works fine except in case where the URL i am accessing wants to
redirect to another location.
In the logfile i see a warning like 

WARN httpclient.HttpMethod  - Redirect from host www.foobar.ch to
www.foobar2.ch is not supported

Is there a way to catch this redirect?


Excerpt of my code:

The following classes are used:
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpState;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;

In the code, the calling lines are:
      HttpConnection httpC = new HttpConnection(url.getHost(), port);
      httpC.setSoTimeout(getHttpTimeout());
      httpC.open();

      HttpState state  = new HttpState();
      GetMethod method = new GetMethod(url.toString());
      method.execute(state, httpC);
      InputStream in = httpC.getResponseInputStream(method);


THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is that each request is made on a per host basis. Redirects 
to different hosts than the original one are currently not supported. 
You have to issue a new request to the new host in this situation.
