That's the second-to-last hop.  The final target isn't even up at this
point, and is a site in Russia.  Big surprise, there!

> wget is great.  :-)

I like RawQuery better, specifically because I built in a hop-trace mode
that saves the full headers for -every- hop along a redirect chain, so I
can see exactly where something went sideways.  It was built as a CGI
debugger, but I use it in a lot of B2B solutions.  It's also great for
stuff like this.  :)

I do have wget, though.  And curl.  Still prefer my own.  :)  I'll actualy
-use- wget.  I really hate curl, though--that's like Last Resort territory.
