Capture header Location with JSOUP or other HTML PARSER

Question

When I'm picking up the response of a site with JSOUP, I can capture all headers except the LOCATION.

With JSOUP or some other html parser there some way to capture the value of the response header "LOCATION"?

Do you mean capture `Location` header field from HTTP response? — jsalonen, Apr 26 '13 at 19:01
You cannot do that with an HTML parser. You need to read it from the HTTP response. — jsalonen, Apr 26 '13 at 21:03
You mean this? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_location — MariuszS, Apr 26 '13 at 22:42

You can read Location with JSoup.

Real example

Connection.Response response = Jsoup
        .connect("http://tvnwarszawa.pl/d")
        .method(Connection.Method.POST)
        .followRedirects(false)
        .execute();

System.out.println(response.header("Location"));

Output

http://tvnwarszawa.tvn24.pl/d

Maybe you are interested in url()?

System.out.println(response.url());

Yes, I have tested. Result depends or geographical location :) I have other example. – MariuszS Apr 27 '13 at 06:41
Ok, Is this possible with POST method? – Benigno Sales Apr 27 '13 at 10:18
