How do I find where an HttpURLConnection is trying to redirect me to?

I have an HttpURLConnection that I do not what to follow redirects, however if a redirect appears I want to know where I would get redirected to. There doesn't seem to be a method of HttpURLConnection that will show me that, is there any way I can get that information?

First turn of redirect follows:

conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);

conn being your HTTPConnection variable. Then read the Location header.

Get the Header "Location", it contains the URL where you are redirected. Look at the HTTP spec for all the details
