I am using url-retrieve and url-retrieve-synchronously to fetch URLs.
When the web pages fetched are redirected the callback routines are
called with unexpected parameters. I am not quite sure of all the
details but the most common error is that the callback parameter for the
file name to save instead has the redirection url.
This is not documented. It is also quite bad since the file name for
saving is no longer available.
There is also another bug. When trying to follow a link that is pointing
to a directory but with the trailing slash omitted I get back just an
empty buffer.
I have done a workaround for the first case - by following the
redirection links. This workaround however prevents asynchronously
download. Please see this link for test cases (and my work around):
