Using HttpClient 4.3 and Fluent:

final String url = "http://...";
final HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create()
    .disableRedirectHandling()
    .build();
final Executor executor = Executor.newInstance(client);
final HttpResponse response = executor.execute(Request.Get(url))
    .returnResponse();
