Subject: libquvi7: Fails to follow more than one redirect in a row

Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2014 20:17:22 +0200

Package: libquvi7
Version: 0.4.1-2.1
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 cclive

Dear Maintainer,

Twitter puts every link behind their t.co redirector. Some people post
links to YouTube via their preferred redirector, e.g. here[1]. Hence you get two
redirects to get to YouTube.

  [1] https://twitter.com/ernst_michalek/status/458239402289164288

If I copy the first link from that tweet (not its link text) onto the
command line to download it with cclive, it fails as it seems to follow
only the first redirect:

$ cclive http://t.co/oePJcxs85Z
Checking ... ....... libquvi: error: no support: http://bit.ly/1nCACef
$

This link seems to involve at least three redirects:

$ GET -SUsed http://t.co/oePJcxs85Z

Using the last URL directly works fine in cclive.
