Hard to believe, this was due to the Host header.

If the server receives a host in the form of:

Host: twitter.com:443

then it redirects infinitely.

If you send

Host: twitter.com

then it works fine.

I tried other servers (not only twitter) and they all seem affected by
this problem.

In any case, HttpClient now sends a host without port if it is the default port.
