Preventing Automatic Redirects in a HTTP Connection
By default, when you make an HTTP connection using URLConnection,
the system automatically follows redirects until it reaches the final
destination. This example demonstrates how to prevent automatic
redirection.
// Disable automatic redirects for all HTTP requests
HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
// Disable automatic redirects for a particular connection
try {
// Create a URLConnection object for a URL
URL url = new URL("http://hostname:80");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
// Disable automatic redirects just for this connection
HttpURLConnection httpConn = (HttpURLConnection)conn;
httpConn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
// Send the request to the server
conn.connect();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
}
