Re: LWP::UserAgent : setting max_redirect to 0 yields 'Client-Warning: Redirect loop detected

That actually looks like a bug to me. The test should be "is greater than," not "is greater than or equal." I would open a problem-report to that effect. I think that what you have said should be understood to mean that redirects ought not be followed. But, really, there ought to be a follow_redirects (true/false) option to settle the matter. Meanwhile, I wonder what would happen if you set requests_redirectable to an empty array?

Not quite. It should be `>=`, but it should only check if the last response in the chain was a redirect.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for your reply, I did both at the same time: set requests_redirectable to an empty array AND max_redirect to zero. (see the code in my first post). But I also report in another comment here how your suggestion works. And I agree with you that this is probably a bug. That '>=' should be '>' really.	[reply]
