note 125832 added to context.http

With the default of 'follow_location' => 1 be certain NEVER include a "Host:" header in the 'header' array. If the host is set to "mydomain.com", and that web site has a (quite common) redirect to "www.mydomain.com", then the initial request to "http://mydomain.com" will get the expected response of: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://www.mydomain.com/ However, the follow-up request does NOT replace the original "host" header with the new "location" value, as one would expect. Consequently each "follow-location" request will again be served by the original host of "http://mydomain.com", and continue the redirect loop until 'max_redirects' has been exhausted.
