Comment(by dd32):

 > It (the 1) could be read as: The first redirect is max, so it won't be
 done.

 Another way to look at it, Like in my OP, Is that the max_redirections is
 actually The maximum number of ''requests'' it will make. So 1 request,
 and result is a 30x, Has hit the maximum limit count.

 > Is there a documentation of the request() $args array members available?
 Its in the file. If its not there, Then probably not. Look at
 WP_HTTP::request() perhaps. But reading the code is the best method.

 > what about setting the default value to 20?
 Thats completely irrelivant to this ticket.


 As a test, Try requesting http://tools.dd32.id.au/redirect/?rt=5 which
 makes 5 redirects with the various transports. All of them except streams
 will suceed in requesting the document. Increase {{{redirection}}} to 6
 and all will suceed. Decrease {{{redirection}}} to 4 and all will fail.

 You can use my Core Control plugin with the HTTP Access manager to disable
 the transports in their preffered orders.
