I assume you use url-retrieve-synchronously or url-insert-file-contents.
For user-level use, I use url-handler-mode so that I can just do
C-x C-f http://foo/bar RET
Note that a "fix" in the area of http redirection was installed recently,
so maybe the bug you see was fixed, or maybe the fix introduced another bug
you're experiencing.

I don't understand URL, really, but I have worked on it a tiny bit.
