I am trying to use wget 1.9.1 to download a file using https. The initial
request URL is a script that redirects to another file in the same domain.
If I try this using normal http, it works - the first request returns a
302 response, and wget follows the new URL to download the file. If I try
this with https, it doesn't work. The 302 response comes back and it looks
like wget is trying to follow to the new URL, but after that it just hangs
- no error message or anything, just hangs. Note that this happens both in
Linux and Windows versions of wget 1.9.1 (with SSL libraries included)

I then downloaded version 1.8.2, and the same request works properly, i.e.
even against https, the 302 response is followed correctly and it
downloads the file.

Therefore, this looks like a regression in the 1.9 series. I did some
google search on this to see if anyone had run into it before, but no
luck.
