Re: [Httplib2-discuss] Optional non-'redirect following'

[Joe G. <jo...@bi...>]

Rene,
    The 0.3.0 release of httplib2 adds a 'content-location' header
to every response. That 'content-location' header contains
the last URI in the redirect chain, which should be used
on subsequent requests. Is that content-location not getting
through back to the requester?
