[jira] Created: (HTTPCLIENT-706) httpclient method handling
redirects to non-http protocol
httpclient method handling redirects to non-http protocol
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-706
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-706
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Wish
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
Environment: os X 10.5
Reporter: adam brin
Priority: Minor
HTTPClient does not handle protocol redirects 'nicely'. When you call client.executeMethod(method) on a url like [1] the client throws an IllegalStateException. Clearly, this is not a bug, the enhancement is/would be to better handle the http redirect that happens prior to the protocol change. Specifically, either not throwing an exception, but setting a status variable or something so you can pick up the redirected URI/protocol.

[jira] Resolved: (HTTPCLIENT-706) httpclient method handling
redirects to non-http protocol

Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-706.

Resolution: Won't Fix
Adam,
HttpClient is not a browser and as such is not meant to handle any other protocol but HTTP. It is clearly a responsibility of the application layer to switch protocols, not that of the protocol layer.
HttpClient throws IllegalStateException because it fails to find a socket factory for the request with the FTP scheme. If you register a socket factory for it, HttpClient should be able to request FTP resources using HTTP protocol just fine. However, the target HTTP server must be capable of acting as a proxy for FTP resources for that to work.
