Problem Description

The /webclient/standalone app builds and tests successfully, but it includes both a server and a client. When you start the server and then run the client per the instructions in the README.md file the client reports a failure in the redirection step.

Steps to reproduce

In the helidon-examples repo clone:

cd examples/webclient/standalone
mvn clean package
java -jar target/helidon-examples-webclient-standalone.jar

Note the port number displayed (XXX).
In another terminal window:

java -cp "target/classes:target/libs/*" io.helidon.examples.webclient.standalone.ClientMain XXX

You get output with a few successes and then a failure at the redirection step:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Follow redirection failed!
	at java.base/java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.reportJoin(CompletableFuture.java:413)
	at java.base/java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture.join(CompletableFuture.java:2118)
	at io.helidon.common.reactive.Awaitable.await(Awaitable.java:54)
	at io.helidon.examples.webclient.standalone.ClientMain.main(ClientMain.java:103)
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Follow redirection failed!
	at io.helidon.examples.webclient.standalone.ClientMain.lambda$followRedirects$7(ClientMain.java:132)
