Comment:

 wp_get_http() uses `$options['redirection'] = 5;` to follow 301 redirects.
 I tested this by uploading and inserting an image into a post, then I
 added a 301 redirect for that image to the .htaccess of the site:

 {{{
 Redirect 301 /wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image.png
 http://localhost/different.png
 }}}

 Finally I exported and imported into a different site. The import site had
 an image named "image", but the content was that of different.png.
