Description
The most common case is a blog/feed converts to using FeedBurner etc. and leaves its original URL to redirect. When that happens, the parser can't keep up.
It currently checks for 304 as a return code; should also check for other 3xx return codes.
#1
Have you checked a real feed? Please provide an example!
FeedAPI, Common Syndication Parser does follow the redirects because drupal_http_request is called w/ $retry = 3!
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_http_request
So this function takes care of 301, 302 and 307 status codes. I trust drupal core that it handles redirect well. :)
