Code

    // the intention here is to retry if the correct information isn't available

    // it's possible/probable that Moved Temporarily will give the headers required elsewhere
    // and it maybe best to test on the content of the header
    case 200:

    // OK
    case 304:

      // Not modified - this shouldn't happen here
      break;

    // Moved permanently
    case 302:

    // Moved temporarily
    case 303:

    // See Other <-- drupal_http_request doesn't deal with this we need this for youtube

      // Moved temporarily
