If the above doesn’t apply, you may try to use the following code (hack) to skip the re-direction,
get the Location header and re-connect:
try {
URL url = new URL(“http://www.ama.org/events “);
HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setFollowRedirects(true);
con.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
con.connect();
while (String.valueOf(con.getResponseCode()).startsWith(“3”)) {
String theLocation = con.getHeaderField(“Location”);
con.disconnect();
url = new URL(theLocation);
con = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
con.setFollowRedirects(true);
con.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
con.connect();
}
/** at this point you are located at the last(target)page of
redirection chain */
} catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
