JavaFx Locator returns: MediaException: MEDIA_INACCESSIBLE : could not connect to media (http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run executable test case and wait for video to be opened (or for exception in console).

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
301 response code is handled and video is played as expected from new location: https://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4
ACTUAL -
JavaFx Locator returns: MediaException: MEDIA_INACCESSIBLE : could not connect to media (http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/BigBuckBunny_320x180.mp4)

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Every url passed to javafx.scene.Media must be checked against response code to handle 301 status code relocations.

FREQUENCY : always
