jaikiran pai resolved IVY-1336.
-------------------------------
       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: master

This was indeed an issue and I was able to reproduce this in a testcase in the Ivy project. 

Having said that, as of yesterday, we have moved to 4.x of HttpComponents HttpClient library as part of IVY-1563 and I have verified (through that testcase which is now committed upstream) that this no longer runs into a loop with this version of the library.
