[jetty-users] Jetty HttpClient redirect issue going from M5 to RC0 (and

[Jay Wallingford <jhwallingford@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I recently upgraded from jetty-client M5 to RC2 and have a problem with too many redirects after the upgrade. I tried this in RC0 and RC1 and had the same issue. Here's a simple test that demonstrates the problem …

SslContextFactory sslContextFactory = new SslContextFactory(true);

sslContextFactory.setEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm(null);

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(sslContextFactory);

// client.setMaxRedirects(Integer.MAX_VALUE);

client.start();

Request request = client.newRequest("http://www.twitter.com/jwallingford");

request.method(HttpMethod.GET);

try {

ContentResponse response = request.send();

System.out.println(response.getContentAsString());

} catch (InterruptedException | TimeoutException | ExecutionException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} finally {

client.destroy();

}

When I run this in M5 it runs fine and prints the HTML for my Twitter page but in RC0-RC2 it returns the following exception …

The exception is pretty obvious so I tried setting the client's max redirects to Integer.MAX_VALUE but after that change it runs forever. I've tried a number of different URLs and get the same problem. I've also tried it with and without the SSLContextFactor and still get the same problem. I feel like I must be doing SOMETHING wrong here but the test is so simple I'm not sure what else to try.
