[erlang-bugs] http client hang (on https redirect?)

Ok, then we will have to investigate.

I have  a problem  recreating the  situation as  the link seems to be 
redirected
to a https link, and I have no direct Internet access and alas https 
through a proxy
is  not supported as yet by the client. (The reason is that  ssl has not 
had the necessary API functions to implement it. It will soon though.)  
Well anyway could you do:

http:set_options([{verbose, trace}]).
**http:request (get, { "http://mitch-alex.blogspot.com/", [] }, [ { 
timeout, 1000 } ], []).

And  then send us the result.
