Bug #131388, was updated on 2001-Feb-07 03:23

Summary: joining Location header results into wrong URLs

Details: LWP: 5.50
Module: LWP::Protocol::http
Some servers return two Location: headers
(e.g.
http://service.bfast.com/bfast/click?bfmid=20911217&siteid=37451739&bfpage=hplink
after 2nd redirect - it's where code boiled out). push_header() will join
URLs with ', ', and this is kinda wrong =)
I haven't checked what RFC states about such cases yet, but anyhow, here's
a patch for module mentioned above

And thanks for a nice lib!
