#2 Deal with redirects to set cookies

[Gisle Aas]

It is common for servers to give redirect to the same
page in order to force cookie headers to be set.
LWP end up beliving this is a redirection loop and does
not send the second request.

If you're going to deal with this, it would be nice to
somehow allow similar support for META REFRESH-style loops
for the same purpose (eg. Netscape's web client for its
calendar server does this)

I found the easiest thing was simply don't deny redirects to
self. Allow reasonable redirects to self limited only by the
loop counter (13 max.)
