Summary: HTTP does not follow redirects

Initial Comment:
I am referring to redirects such as the 301 HTTP redirect which is when a page has moved permanently.

At present the http package does not appear to follow such redirects.

This is not the nature of which http was intended to be used and should be fixed accordingly.
