Client fails to follow 301 relative location redirection

[hananaharonof]

Hi,

Issue:

URL https://www.ynet.co.il returns 301 with Location header of "/home/0,7340,L-8,00.html". MonoHttpClientResponse#74 calls getRemoteAddress on the returned relative location, which fails with NPE.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_location relative location should be supported.

Proposed Solution:

It seems that method redirect of ReconnectableBridge does not support relative location. Looking at the code I think a simple change can fix this issue:

Line 150: activeURI = new URI(to);

Should be changed to:

Line 150: activeURI = from.resolve(new URI(to));
