…ik7#107) When ErrorResponseHandler built the UnAuthorizedException message it called context.request().getRequestUri() on the RequestInformation object. That method calls LocationService.getInstance().getLocation(), which creates a *fresh* LocationService (empty cache) and makes an OPTIONS request to discover the resource area. That OPTIONS call goes through the full response pipeline, causing ApiResponseHandler to overwrite ResponseHandler.apiResponse with the 200 OK OPTIONS response — hiding the real 401 from the caller. Fix: replace context.request().getRequestUri() with context.response().request().uri(), which reads the URI directly from the already-sent HttpResponse with no side effects. Regression test added in WorkItemTrackingRequestBuilderTest: shouldRetainUnauthorizedStatusInResponseHandlerWhenProjectIsAbsent

Description
Fixes a bug where
ResponseHandler.getResponse().getStatusCode()returnsOKinstead ofUNAUTHORIZEDafter a 401 response (e.g. callingworkItemTypes().list()without a project in the credential).Root cause:
ErrorResponseHandlerwas building the 401 error message with:context.request().getRequestUri() calls LocationService.getInstance().getLocation(), which creates a fresh instance (empty cache) and fires an OPTIONS HTTP request to discover the resource area. That OPTIONS call goes through the full response pipeline, causing ApiResponseHandler to overwrite ResponseHandler.apiResponse with the 200 OK OPTIONS response — hiding the real 401 from the caller.
Fix: Use context.response().request().uri() instead — reads the URI directly from the already-sent HttpResponse with no side effects.
