Comment (by dd32):

 > * Fsockopen should be updated to follow spec

 Created #17588 to deal with that.

 The alternative here, Is to remove cURL's redirection support, and
 implement it ourselves, We currently do this when operating under safe
 mode (Since safe mode enforces some restrictions on the redirections which
 can take place). This would also reduce the potential for there being
 different bugs between safe mode, and no safe mode.. (ie. This bug
 shouldn't exist on servers where open_basedir is set, or safe mode is
 enabled).
