Why?
Possible reasons:
1) 302 being the status you really want to use for this.
2) "transparent proxy" aka "intercepting proxy" aka "man-in-middle
attack"
perhapse the plugin is smart enough to detect such attacks and prevent
them
from working.
3) perhapse the plugins is simply smart enough to realize it will never
get
a redirect back from the real source.
4) perhapse the browser does not have access to the new location.
5) perhapse the browser is limiting the sources the plugin may connect
to.
raw-IP addresses are known to be dangerous.
Browser (or flash plugin in browser) even don't trying to send request to
10.10.10.1 if proxy is transparent.
