965	CLI commands should follow HTTP redirects	davidsarah	lebek	"As mentioned in #958, it is normally the responsibility of an HTTP client to follow redirects, but the CLI commands don't do so. This is because source:src/allmydata/scripts/common_http.py uses Python's {{{httplib}}} directly. Up to now this hasn't mattered because the CLI commands only make HTTP requests that will not redirect. However, if #958 is implemented then any request might redirect.

This is easy to fix, for example by using {{{urllib2}}} as described [http://www.diveintopython.net/http_web_services/redirects.html here]."	defect	assigned	major	soon	code-frontend-cli	1.6.0		forward-compatibility http standards easy
