This works fine for me in 7.16.2. It's unlikely due to the illegal Location:
being returned. It may be related to persistent connections. Are you
using a proxy server? What happens if you force a HTTP/1.0 request? Is
libcurl hanging on that new URL or is it looping? Are you using pipelining
or the multi interface? Posting your source code would help diagnose
the problem.
