Unfortunately, this is not true. The default is to not follow redirects. The 'CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION' option has to be used to enable that fea- ture. The documentation really is a bit fuzzy on that issue, but I guess it's supposed to be "to those protocols it will follow automatically _if that feature has been enabled at all_". Imho, it makes sense to enable 'CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION' by default in the apache plugin (and not make it an config option). Florian, what do you think?
