[HttpClient] Re: How to get the base URI??

[Michael Becke <be...@u.washington.edu>]

Hi Davide,

Yes, it looks like <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1> redirects to 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/> with a 301 redirect response.  
HttpClient automatically handles this redirection, unless you disable 
redirection.  When redirected, the original headers are overwritten.  
You can get the final path from the HttpMethod using 
HttpMethod.getPath().
