My solution is to read location headers and follow them. This helped me:

if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
    Header[] headers = response.getHeaders("Location");

    if (headers != null && headers.length != 0) {
        String newUrl = headers[headers.length - 1].getValue();
        // call again the same downloading method with new URL
        return downloadBitmap(newUrl);
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}
