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

[Rene S. <re...@pt...>]

Right, not setting the header is the way to go.

My proxy simply reused headers it got from the browser, so normally, I 
would have to remove  'head : some.target.site' .. except that now, I 
can turn redirects of :-), and this becomes a non-issue!

Thanks for you support,
René
