Bug #2027: open-uri doesn't suport redirections to secure servers
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2027

Author: Manuel Carrasco
Status: Open, Priority: High
Category: core
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-linux]

When the server reponse is a redirection to a secure server, open-uri fails raising a runtime exception with this message:

(RuntimeError) redirection forbidden: http://hudson.gotdns.com/latest/hudson.war -> https://hudson.dev.java.net/files/documents/2402/142380/hudson.war
  /mirai/SOFT/ruby/1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:174:in `open_loop'
  /mirai/SOFT/ruby/1.8.7/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:132:in `open_uri'


I attach a patch that fixes this issue.

Thanks
