java.io.IOException: Too many redirects at URL when calling specific URL

[Hélios GILLES]

Hello everybody,

I'm kind of new in GAE things and for my first project i'm trying to fetch an RSS feed and add it some more information coming from the same site. But when i'm trying to fetch the RSS URL, i get an java.io.IOException: Too many redirects at URL on GAE servers while on debug on my computer everything is OK.

Could you tell if it's possible to increase the number of maximum redirect allowed by GAE and if it's possible to activate on the administrator console of GAE a debug property to see the different redirect requests send back by the URL server ?

Thx in advance.

The maximum amount of redirects is 5: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/urlfetch/#Java_Responses . You can't increase it.

If you need to inspect each redirect, what you can do is configure URLFetch not to follow redirects, then continually inspect each response and fetch the next redirect URL. Or you could (and this is a much easier option) inspect the redirects locally by using Google Chrome's developer tools (or another browser addon) to watch the redirect flow. If you use Chrome's dev tools, the redirects can be seen in the Network tab.
