The characteristics of the httpredir.debian.org mirror is that it uses http redirects to push you to a mirror near you, so an HTTP 301/302/307 response code is expected. What you get instead is "something" which answers 200 with a normal html page. That is very much not expected and no surprise that apt fails to work with the received data. The bad InRelease files should be in partial/, perhaps their content can tell you what this something is. Looks for me like a proxy (maybe from your ISP) running amok. Do you get something reasonable if you browse to 'http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/InRelease'? If you download it with wget/curl? In any case, I don't see much potential for improvement from the apt side here as "garbage in, garbage out", but perhaps if you can shine some light on what is going on there might be something so I am not closing downright… but I am damn close.
