The ECF FileTransfer API is currently 'blind' to redirects.  If the 
underlying provider (e.g. Apache httpclient 3.0.1) understands redirects 
and handles them properly/automatically then all would be well (the 
current ECF provider using httpclient...i.e. 
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient does *not* handle 
redirects in this manner...but it *could* because the httpclient impl 
allows/supports this...it just doesn't yet check for redirect 
response)...then all would be well.

We could also add new events to the API to support interactively making 
a decision on redirects (e.g. IFileTransferRetrieveRedirectEvent), but 
to this point this hasn't come up as a requirement so we've not 
introduced it.
