Description:
------------
A SOAPClient can be stuck in a redirect loop (and in some cases crash). Other PHP functions have solved this by a default redirection limit of 20 redirects (maybe a php.ini setting) or a custom value of a stream context -> http -> max_redirects.

I provide two examples, one where PHP crashes after ~200 requests and one where it just loops forever.

Reproduce code:
---------------
redirection-loop.php:
<?php
 header("Location: /redirection-loop.php");
?>

client code (crashes):
<?
$context = stream_context_create(
 array('http' => array('max_redirects' => 3))
 );
$soap = new SOAPClient(NULL,
 array(
  'uri' => 'foo',
  'location' => 'http://example.com/redirection-loop.php',
  'stream_context' => $context,
 )
);
$soap->test();
?>

client code (never finishes):
<?
$soap = new SOAPClient(NULL,
 array(
  'uri' => 'foo',
  'location' => 'http://example.com/redirection-loop.php'
 )
);
$soap->test();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect it to have a default limit of 20 but also respect the max_requests value in the stream context. If the limit is reached I would expect a SOAPFault with a similar error description as below.

When requesting the same file (redirection-loop.php) with file_get_contents() you get a warning and a empty result is returned.

Warning: file_get_contents(http://example.com/redirection-loop.php): failed to open stream: Redirection limit reached, aborting in Command line code on line 1

Actual result:
--------------
This is what happens if you specify a stream_context and tries to make it respect the max_requests (which is does not)...

The sample code has an extra comma after the "'stream_context' => $context,".
