DisableRedirectHandling in JenkinsHttpClient

When calling a GET for job///toggleLogKeep, I get an exception thrown:
org.apache.http.client.CircularRedirectException: Circular redirect to 'https:///job///toggleLogKeep/api/'

If I edit the source code in JenkinsHttpClient.addAuthentication(HttpClientBuilder builder, URI uri, String username, String password) to add HttpClientBuilder.disableRedirectHandling(), this prevents the Exception from being thrown and allows me to toggle the "Keep build forever" functionality.
