Comment(by dd32):

 This might actually be impossible..

 Half the classes do not support redirections very well, You cant catch the
 error with some (So cannot tell why the request failed), Not all abide by
 the max-redirections, and end up returning multiple headers(WP_Http_Fopen
 at least).

 Only really the Curl and FSockopen seem to support redirects well.

 I'm going to attach a patch which modifies Curl and FSockopen to return as
 a normal request, but with a 301/2 error if the max-redirects is 0..

 Note, The switching of the Curl error handling order was to allow for the
 custom 30x error message to have priority over Curl's own internal error.
 The $parts.. line was also redundant, not being used at all by anything.
