 When safe_mode or open_basedir are set it seems that the only transport
 that can "follow" the redirects is fsockopen.  All others stop after the
 initial request.

 Simplepie seems to have a method of "manually" following by checking to
 see if the last response was a 30x and checks the number of redirects.  If
 the last response was a 30x and the redirects that happened were less than
 configured it does a "manual" follow by requesting, grabbing the
 'Location' header and then requesting again until it either hits the
 redirect limit or a non 30x response code.
