Description:
------------
In http://us2.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.http.php, the HTTP header for detecting a redirection is incorrect.

Reproduce code:
---------------
The example shows:
/* Were we redirected? */
if (substr(strtolower($response), 0, 18) == 'content-location: ') {



Expected result:
----------------
It should read:
/* Were we redirected? */
if (substr(strtolower($response), 0, 10) == 'location: ') {

Actual result:
--------------
According to the HTTP/1.1 RFC:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html

"content-location" is an alternative location of the URI, and does not imply redirection.  "location:" is used to actually redirect the client.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

Correction made.
