If suppose CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION was set when the wireless connection
had been disconnected, then would apt-cacher have cached the login page
of the hotspot provider?

If that is the case, will apt-cacher return the cached login page when
apt-cacher gets 404 during the normal non-existent file probe of
"apt-get update"?

Thanks.
