Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist

The http apt method doesn't appear to support HTTP redirection codes,
i.e. when recieving 301 (Permanent Redirect) or 302 (Temp) code it
gives back "Err".

I can see this facility to be desirable in several instances, including
 - temp redirects when mirrors are in the process of being updated
   or undergoing maintainance.
 - redirects to software that is stored in .deb format, but not in
   an apt-able archive.

See [RFC2068 10.3]
