How to download Image from http URL that redirects to https?

I have spent days to try and get this to work but still no luck. My problem is that the url redirects to a https version for some reason

So lets say this is the image url:

http://api.androidhive.info/images/sample.jpg

for some reason the image redirects to https like to:

https://api.androidhive.info/images/sample.jpg

Since my site does not have https it gives:

"This site can’t be reached"

and then no image is downloaded

I've followed this tutorial link

I am using Picasso to load the image all the https url from youtube work from but when i call a url that has no https then it does not work

This is what version of android I am using

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.example"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

I have no idea what to do any help will be great.

Following is just a work around or hack you can do,

In the callback of Picasso do this:

//this is the url which is having https
String url = "https://api.androidhive.info/images/sample.jpg";

//in callback of picasso which is overriden when some error occurs do this steps

String newUrl = url.replace("https", "http");
Picasso.with(context)
.load(newUrl)
.into(imageView);

This is just a way around

If this way around is not working follow this link
