Hehe.

Exactly as I expected, i.e. fine, only that way less redirection
services than expected include links in the 30x page itself.

I just clicked through the first 10 pages of my identi.ca home feed
and checked all redirection services I found in use plus a standard
Apache redirect (Apache 2.2.29 as on Debianb Lenny):

OK:          Apache 2.2.9 (tested http://blosxom.net/)
NO CONTENTS: is.gd (tested: http://is.gd/dLoEoo)
OK:	     identi.ca/url (tested: http://identi.ca/url/53842451)
NO CONTENTS: ub0.cc (tested: http://ub0.cc/xm/97)
OK:	     deb.li (tested: http://deb.li/7s0l)
NO LINK:     ur1.ca (tested: http://ur1.ca/54dz0)
NO CONTENTS: lallus.net (tested: http://lallus.net/852)
NO CONTENTS: t.co (tested: http://t.co/viemv5qx)
OK:	     goo.gl (tested: http://goo.gl/dzbq8)
OK:	     feedproxy.google.com (tested: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OmMalik/~3/Co-kep24E68/)
OK:	     bit.ly (tested: http://bit.ly/njgxiQ)
NO CONTENTS: tinyurl.com (tested: http://tinyurl.com/3fg22d8)

So I recommend to add the patch anyway, as it makes things way better
even if someone wants to filter these redirects, but there's probably
need for an at least a little bit more fine grained redirect/image
blocking configuration.

		Kind regards, Axel
