Update: url-http.el apparently does support redirects, but it seems to
get confused by the "Connection: close" extra header mm-url is feeding
to it. I suspect this is a bug in url-http.el, since it most probably
would also not work when connection keep-alive is disabled or not
supported on the server side.

Referring articles via nnweb.el works for me with mm-url-use-external
set to nil with the attached patch. I don't know what the motivation
was for disabling keep-alive in mm-url.el, so the patch might be a bad
idea...
