Problem with chilkat ActiveX HTTP component with Redirect - chilkat

Question

I used this script to check the last redirect url:
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
http.FollowRedirects = 0
' resp is a Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.QuickGetObj(link)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
wscript.echo http.LastErrorText
WScript.Quit
End If
status = resp.StatusCode
wscript.echo "HTTP Response Status: " & status
wscript.echo "Redirect URL >>>: " & http.FinalRedirectUrl
nextUrl = http.WasRedirected
loopCount = 0
Do While (status = 302 OR status = 301)
wscript.echo "HTTP Response Status: " & status
wscript.echo "Redirect URL >>>: " & http.FinalRedirectUrl
nextUrl = http.FinalRedirectUrl
' resp is a Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.QuickGetObj(nextUrl)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
wscript.echo http.LastErrorText
WScript.Quit
End If
status = resp.StatusCode
wscript.echo "HTTP Response Status: " & status
' For safety, prevent infinite loops by
' keeping a loopCount and only allows following a max
' of 10 redirects:
loopCount = loopCount + 1
If (loopCount > 10) Then
wscript.echo "Too many redirects."
WScript.Quit
End If
Loop
This code prints the 301 status code correctly, but it doesn't print the http.FinalRedirectURL (it's blank).
I also tried with the url https://www.businessonline.it/articoli/guida-al-nuovo-regime-forfettario-2016-e-2017.html
The output is:
Link: https://www.businessonline.it/articoli/guida-al-nuovo-regime-forfettario-2016-e-2017.html
HTTP Response Status: 301
Redirect URL >>>:

I used both chilkat 9.5.0.70 and 9.5.0.80.
If I set FollowRedirects to 1, the first StatusCode is "200" and I can't get the url.
Can you help me?
Thank's

Thanks Lorenzo,
The problem had to do with QuickGetObj and QuickGet. The QuickGetStr method worked fine for the WasRedirected and FinalRedirectUrl properties.
Here's a new 32-bit ActiveX build with the fix:
