The patch that you are refering to is (I think) included in version
2.7 of WWWOFFLE., but disabled by default.  The option name is
request-redirection:

[<URL-SPEC>] request-redirection = yes | no
        While online pages that redirect the browser to another URL temporarily
        will be requested again. (default=no).  This option takes precedence
        over the request-changed and request-changed-once options.

This means that the redirection page is re-requested each time that
you visit it.  The first time you get redirected, later you dont.
