[HttpClient]: How to find the final URI after redirects

1.  Use a local HttpContext

To get final request location: 
-------- 
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://localhost/"); 

HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext(); 
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget, context); 
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); 
if (entity != null) { 
    entity.consumeContent(); 
} 
HttpUriRequest request = (HttpUriRequest) context.getAttribute( 
        ExecutionContext.HTTP_REQUEST); 

System.out.println(request.getURI()); 

2. User a custom RedirectStrategy

To get all intermediate redirect locations: 
-------- 
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 

httpClient.setRedirectStrategy(new DefaultRedirectStrategy() { 

    @Override 
    public URI getLocationURI(HttpResponse response, HttpContext 
context) throws ProtocolException { 
        URI uri = super.getLocationURI(response, context); 
        System.out.println("redirect - > " + uri); 
        return uri; 
    } 
    
}); 
        
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("https://localhost/"); 
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpget); 
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); 
if (entity != null) { 
    entity.consumeContent(); 
}
