Java HttpURLConnection follow redirect example

The HttpURLConnection‘s follow redirect is just an indicator, in fact it won’t help you to do the “real” http redirection, you still need to handle it manually.
URL obj = new URL(url); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection(); conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true); //you still need to handle redirect manully. HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(true);
1. Java Http Redirect Example
If a server is redirected from the original URL to another URL, the response code should be 301: Moved Permanently or 302: Temporary Redirect. And you can get the new redirected url by reading the “Location” header of the HTTP response header.
For example, access to the normal HTTP twitter website – http://www.twitter.com , it will auto redirect to the HTTPS twitter website – https://www.twitter.com.
HttpRedirectExample – Full Java follow redirect example, see comments for self-explanatory.
package com.mkyong.http;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
public class HttpRedirectExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String url = "http://www.twitter.com";
URL obj = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();
conn.setReadTimeout(5000);
conn.addRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.8");
conn.addRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla");
conn.addRequestProperty("Referer", "google.com");
System.out.println("Request URL ... " + url);
boolean redirect = false;
// normally, 3xx is redirect
int status = conn.getResponseCode();
if (status != HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
if (status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_MOVED_TEMP
|| status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_MOVED_PERM
|| status == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_SEE_OTHER)
redirect = true;
System.out.println("Response Code ... " + status);
if (redirect) {
// get redirect url from "location" header field
String newUrl = conn.getHeaderField("Location");
// get the cookie if need, for login
String cookies = conn.getHeaderField("Set-Cookie");
// open the new connnection again
conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(newUrl).openConnection();
conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookies);
conn.addRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "en-US,en;q=0.8");
conn.addRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla");
conn.addRequestProperty("Referer", "google.com");
System.out.println("Redirect to URL : " + newUrl);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
StringBuffer html = new StringBuffer();
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
html.append(inputLine);
in.close();
System.out.println("URL Content... \n" + html.toString());
System.out.println("Done");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Output
Request URL ... http://www.twitter.com Response Code ... 301 Redirect to URL : https://twitter.com/ URL Content... <!DOCTYPE html><!--[if IE 8]><html class= // twitter.com url content...
Do share if you have better way to handle the HTTP redirection :)
