[Robert Stupp]

Yup, I have one. Created https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8288295 <https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8288295>

I suspect that HTTP/308 was just not a thing 14/15 years ago, but no clue whether it’s just not been implemented all the time or whether there was a reason to not handle it at all in HttpURLConnection. I could not find anything useful in the OpenJDK commit log nor in the OpenJDK JIRA (there was a ticket about the Webstart client).
