Bug Description

From a mirror probe run against our mirror I saw messages like this:

Mon Jul 15 10:29:01 2019: Bad response code: 302 on http://ftp.acc.umu.se/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_68.0+build3-0ubuntu0.19.04.1_amd64.deb of ubuntu disco-security amd64 main

These days apt is happy to follow 302s, and our mirror is by design redirecting large files to offloader hosts for more efficient cache usage (https://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/). Please consider following http redirects.

Pool file lookups still use ProberFactory, so don't handle 302s.

In follow-up of question #689260.

We're generating a 307 in stead of a 302, so I think that should act the same.
