Feeds does not follow redirects

[mirolm]

Summary

Recently the feed of HorribleSubs started to use https. When you open it from browser the http version redirects to https. If you have the http version added it does not follow redirects and just stops working. If you add again all your rules with the https version it works without issues.

Expected Behavior

If a http feed redirects to https flood should follow this redirect.

Current Behavior

Feeds which redirect from http to https stop to match rules.

Possible Solution

Fix the component to follow redirects.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Add a feed http://horriblesubs.info/rss.php?res=1080
2. Add matching rules for some torrents.
3. It does not work.
4. Add the same feed with https - https://horriblesubs.info/rss.php?res=1080
5. Add same rules to consume the https feeds.
6. All works fine.

Context

Horrible subs feeds got reconfigured to use CloudFlare and now they use https. It is good change but flood does not handle redirects in feeds very well. As a workaround i reconfigured my feeds to just point to the https version.

I've added an issue into the FeedSub package as that's what's being used to manage them.

That package has been updated now. Someone needs to pull in the new version of FeedSub.

This will be fixed now in master.
