After getting a 302 redirection from a server, Mozilla 1.2.1 does two GET
requests to the URL specified in the redirection response Location field. I
verified this with a proxy.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Check that how many times a GET request was issued
3.

Actual Results:

verified this with a proxy.

Expected Results:  
It should have done 1 GET request instead of two duplicates
