Question regarding the redirects

[Rutuja Joshi-2]

Hello,

I am working on the application which fetches HTTP contents given the
URL. If there is any redirection from the original URL, I need to find
out what's the destination URL from which the contents are going to be
fetched eventually. Then depending on the predefined criterion I would
like to determine if the contents should be fetched from the final
destination or not.

For example, when I use HttpClient to fetch contents from URL:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/login!withRedirect.jspa

The request gets automatically redirected to
 https://auth.opensolaris.org/login.action?targetUrl=http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=219909
and HttpClient returns the html contents from https://auth.opensolaris....

Based on the return code value from method.execute() call I have no way
to know that this happened. The return code is 200 (HttpStatus.SC_OK).

I have two questions as follows:
1> Is there any way to know that this  redirect happened ?
2> Can I control redirects completely? Meaning, is there any way to tell
HttpClient to not to fetch content from the new URL but just let the
calling method know what this new URL is?

Please note setting method.followRedirects() to true or false did not
alter the behavior. Irrespective of setting this flag to false, the HTML
contents were fetched from https://auth.opensolaris....

Thanks in advance!
Rutuja

Which version of HttpClient are you using?

Hi Sebb,

Sorry to not mention it earlier. I am using HttpClient 3.1
(commons-httpclient-3.1.jar)

Thanks,

I just tried the URL using Apache JMeter 2.3.4 which uses HC 3.1, and
that shows the 304 Redirect response correctly, so long as one sets

method.setFollowRedirects(false).

Are you sure you are setting this correctly?

Thanks Sebb!

I had actually commented out method.setFollowRedirects(true) in the code
thinking that the default is false.When I explicitly set it to false, I
get the response code as 302 ("HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily") and not 304.

Is there any way to know what the new URL is going to be from the status line?

Thanks,
Rutuja

No.

You need to look at the "Location" header.

Just double-checked and I got 302 (not 304); but the effect is much the same.

[Rutuja Joshi-2]

Thanks Sebb!

I tried reading Location header in my code.

For URL http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/login!withRedirect.jspa, the
contents are ultimately fetched from
https://auth.opensolaris.org/login.action?targetUrl=http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=219909.

However, when I set  method.setFollowRedirects(false),  the location
header says : "http://www.opensolaris.org//enter.jspa?targetPage=%2F"
when I set method.setFollowRedirects(true) , the response headers do not
have location header (may be as we allow HttpClient to follow the redirects)

In short, I am not able to determine what the final URL would be based
on the "Location" header. Am I missing something or it is not possible
for HttpClient to keep track of the final destination URL.

Thanks,
Rutuja

There are multiple redirects from the page you are beginning with.
Setting setFollowRedirects(false) means you will have to follow them all
yourself. If you use wget you can see all the redirects:

httpMethod.getURI() will have the final URI.

[Rutuja Joshi-2]

Hi sebb,

httpMethod.getURI() gives the URL as http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/login!withRedirect.jspa, so basically its the URL that this method tired to connect to and received a 302 response. I was hoping to get
https://auth.opensolaris.org/... in the form of some header somewhere.

As Joseph suggested, I have option of handling series of redirects manually and that way I will know what URL is the final URL. I will try that but just confirming that there is no other simpler way to know the final destination URL .

Thanks a lot for your responses.

[Rutuja Joshi-2]

Hi Sebb,

getURI() function returns final URL as https://auth.opensolaris.org/...
when setFollowRedirects is set to true. The problem is that I do not
want to go fetch or rather my application is * not supposed * to fetch
the contents from this URL so I have to set it to false. When I set it
to false the getURI() does not return final URL as
https://auth.opensolaris.org/...which is correct as I HttpClient never
went to this URL.

Basically, the solution looks like handling redirects manually. If you
could suggest any other way then please let me know,

Thanks a lot,
Rutuja
