Summary:                    CURLOPT() needs a "followlocation" parameter /
"maxredirs" doesn't do anything
Description: 
I noticed that the CURL function will not follow redirects. According to
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION
you need to set the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in order for CURL to follow
redirects, and that is not set according to the source code:
http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk/funcs/func_curl.c?view=markup

This is especially interesting seeing as how there is a "maxredirs"
CURLOPT parameter. According to the CURL documentation at
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTMAXREDIR :
"This option only makes sense if the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is used at the
same time."

I suggest that a new CURLOPT parameter "followlocation" be added to add
the redirect following feature and fix the currently broken "maxredirs"
option.
