kwin opened a new issue, #1041: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/issues/1041
### New feature, improvement proposal Currently the given `externalJavadocBaseUrl` is being used first to construct a target url (e.g. to `element-list`) and then it is requested. This fails when there is no deep redirect support. For example the Oracle URL <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/11/docs/api/> redirects to <https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/index.html> but <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/11/docs/api/element-list> is also redirected to <https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/index.html> instead of <https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/element-list>. In order to support redirects which always redirect to the index page, the request url should be constructed *after* the redirect target has been been resolved. This requires some change in https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/blob/4ee91b1f88c6ab02323be397f45e978ebc1064c0/maven-plugin-tools-api/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/tools/plugin/javadoc/JavadocSite.java#L539. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
