Description:
------------
get_headers and file_get_contents should not blindly follow the location redirect.

The reason for this is that I, like others, want to get_headers  of the url i've supplied, not the ultimate location.

I'm not the only one having this issue, also see:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-headers.php#90434

Reproduce code:
---------------
$headers=get_headers('http://tinyurl.com/hm2k');

Expected result:
----------------
echo $headers['Location']; //returns http://connecting.nokia.com/NOKIA/WWW/HRJEdisc.nsf/HNew/0CB2705072779CACC2256D630080E7F4

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: get_headers(http://tinyurl.com/hm2k) [function.get-headers]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out

You can control the number of redirects (or disable them entirely) via 
the max_redirects streams context option.
