Well, they want the host name in the Host: header which you can provide in
case you want to.

But if you want libcurl to follow locations (and possibly something more), we
really need the "internal" support for async name resolves. I would like to
see this approach getting implemented. I just won't have time to do anything
myself before my vacation (coming up in just a week).
