Oh, i hadn't though of that !

What happens is that `url-http-parse-headers' gets back a "301"
redirection, with URI "http://www.une.edu.au/itd/", but it does not
pass it on to `w3-fetch-callback' ...

This can be solved with the following patch to url-http.el:

--- url-http.el~
+++ url-http.el

 	    (url-mark-buffer-as-dead (current-buffer))))))
