Bug#121910: apt: does not honor 302 return code from http get
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
Apt does not follow the returned url when a 302 code is returned.
This breaks downloading via http from some mirrors (notably ftp.planetmirror.com)
Apt should probably at least try to follow the returned link, in case the next hop is the actual deb it was trying to get.
