Note that send() does not process redirects, and there doesn't appear to any way to get this to happen automatically.  If you need to follow redirects, use something like the following code:

<?php
$request
= new HttpRequest($url, HTTP_METH_GET);
do {
   
$response = $request->send();
    if (
$response->getResponseCode() != 301 && $response->getResponseCode() != 302) break;
   
$request->setUrl($response->getHeader("Location"));
} while (
1);
?>
