Thanks for your report and patch, but...

HTTP redirects are done with 3xx codes and a Location: header. If it is indeed sending back a 200 then it isn't a redirect. By definition. It would be wrong to act on that the way you suggest.

** [bugs:#1489] location header with response 200**

I have a case where I receive an HTTP 200 response containg a location header. However libcurl only parses that header in case of 3xx responses. The HTTP spec does not seem to constrain the location header to just 3xx, thus I changed my copy of the code (libcurl 7.41.0) in http.c : 3698 from
    else if((k->httpcode >= 300 && k->httpcode < 400) &&
            checkprefix("Location:", k->p) &&
            !data->req.location) {
to
    else if((k->httpcode >= 200 && k->httpcode < 400) &&
            checkprefix("Location:", k->p) &&
            !data->req.location) {
This simple change has solved my problem.
