["Oleg Kalnichevski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1294.
-------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

I chose a more conservative approach and opted for redirect location rewriting. Please review / re-test.

>             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HttpClient
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.3, 4.2.2

>             Fix For: 4.3 Beta2

> Some servers (including IIS6) redirect wrong-cased request URIs to lower case:
> http://EXAMPLE.com/ -> http://example.com/
> Now when I'm redirected from another URI to an uppercase URI, the following redirects happen:
> http://referrer.com/ -> http://EXAMPLE.com/ -> http://example.com/
> When running this request with HttpClient (with default ALLOW_CIRCULAR_REDIRECTS: false), I get a org.apache.http.client.CircularRedirectException, even though a circular redirect won't occur.
> The problem lies in java.net.URI, the following URIs are considered equal:
> URI a = new URI("http://example.com");
> URI b = new URI("http://EXAMPLE.com");
> // a.equals(b): true
> // a.hashCode() == b.hashCode(): true
> The redirect locations are stored in a HashSet<URI> in org.apache.http.impl.client.RedirectLocations. A CircularRedirectException is thrown when an URI is already in this hashset.
> I have no real suggestions on how to fix this, because I am not known with the coding style for HttpClient..
