One the issues is that the twitter-sync library utilizes multicurl which allows for parallel requests. Introducing this type of logic is tricky since the library allows you to access the results "later" and only at that point can we inspect the headers. Most people probably use it in a manner where they immediately block for the results, but I don't think sacrificing the ability to do parallel requests is worth following 302s.
Anyways, I'd like to know from Twitter what their plans are for the 302 redirects. Is it temporary? It's far from an ideal solution and seems more like a stop gap. However, I don't think they'll chime in on this thread due to the title. Perhaps a new general thread would be appropriate.
