HttpClient 4 - how to capture last redirect URL

Question

I have rather simple HttpClient 4 code that calls HttpGet to get HTML output. The HTML returns with scripts and image locations all set to local (e.g.

I think easier way to find last URL is to use DefaultRedirectHandler.

package ru.test.test;

import java.net.URI;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.ProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRedirectHandler;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext;

public class MyRedirectHandler extends DefaultRedirectHandler {

    public URI lastRedirectedUri;

    @Override
    public boolean isRedirectRequested(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context) {

        return super.isRedirectRequested(response, context);
    }

    @Override
    public URI getLocationURI(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context)
            throws ProtocolException {

        lastRedirectedUri = super.getLocationURI(response, context);

        return lastRedirectedUri;
    }

}

Code to use this handler:

  DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
  MyRedirectHandler handler = new MyRedirectHandler();
  httpclient.setRedirectHandler(handler);

  HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url);

  HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(get);

  HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
  lastUrl = url;
  if(handler.lastRedirectedUri != null){
      lastUrl = handler.lastRedirectedUri.toString();
  }
