purple_ssl_connect to prevent nslookup

[karthik kumar]

Thanks Duncan.
I will check the webserver settings and  s_client.
Actually this url is a part of redirect,
I don't know how to use purple libraries for http 302 redirections, so
I m making the first http call, parsing the response header to get the next
url  i.e Location: \(.*\)
This is where the call is not working.

Is there a better way to handle https 302 redirections ?

Thanks
Karthik.
