Weird.....I got a 302 redirect one time I tried, but not any of the other
times.
It's possible the site is sniffing user agents, and redirecting ones it
doesn't like to a different (simpler?) version of the site. So you could try
playing round with:
system/schemes/http/user-agent: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows
NT 5.0)"
see if different user agent strings make a difference.
Another possibility to explain the randomness is that they are doing some
sort of load balancing/redirecting based on IP address. If so, you could try
coming at them via an anonymizing website.
Either way, good luck!
