Build Identifier: 7.4.5-7.5.1

For example, with RedirectListener enabled:

request 1 to: http://foo.com/index
GET /index
Host: foo.com

response with redirect:
HTTP 1.1 OK 301
Location: http://bar.com/foo

request 2 to: http://bar.com/foo (via RedirectListener):
GET /foo
Host: foo.com

This is wrong. The following Host should be sent on the 2nd request:

Host: bar.com

This causes a good number of sites to fail with 404 Not Found (i.e. virtual host configs) or 30x (another redirect with the same Location).

I was able to fix this by adding the following to RedirectListener.checkExchangeComplete, in the destination not equal condition branch:

    // Fixup the Host header
    Address adr = _exchange.getAddress();
    int port = adr.getPort();
    StringBuilder hh = new StringBuilder( 64 );
    hh.append( adr.getHost() );
    if( !( ( port == 80  && !isHttps ) ||
           ( port == 443 &&  isHttps ) ) ) {
        hh.append( ':' );
        hh.append( port );
    }
    _exchange.setRequestHeader( HttpHeaders.HOST, hh.toString() );
