 https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/398738/get-returned-url-
 from-wp-remote-post-if-response-code-is-302

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $payload = array('body' => $payload);
 $payload['redirection'] = 0;
 $response = wp_remote_post( $my_url, $payload );
 $redirect_to = wp_remote_retrieve_header( $reponse, 'location' );
 }}}


 In the above code, $redirect_to always returns an empty string when
 $my_url is an URL that returns 302 redirect.

 This is unexpected behavior, as $redirect_to should contain the URL
 $my_url is redirecting us to.

 I've tried replacing "location" with "Location" and "0" with "false" to no
 avail.
